split date time in javascript

[ghjk]

I want to split date and time in java script.ex: Date=2009-08-12 and Time=14:30:00

selectedDateTime = 2009-08-12 14:30:00
date = selectedDateTime.split(" ") + "<br>";
 

But I got the same value (2009-08-12 14:30:00). Could someone help me?

@ghjk
how do you print out the result?

EDIT: because you’re appending the <br> string the result array is converted and you end up where you begin. see String.split() @ MDC

[ghjk]

solved.

selectedDateTime = "2009-08-12 14:30:00"
var splitarray = new Array();
splitarray= selectedDateTime.split(" ");

I don’t think you need line #2 (though it makes it obvious)

[onlymukti4u]

function datetime()
{
var selectedDateTime = "2009-08-12 14:30:00" 
var splitarray = new Array(); 
splitarray= selectedDateTime.split(" "); 
document.write(splitarray[0]+"<br/>"+splitarray[1]);
}

@onlymukti4u
document.write() is not a very suitable method to make output. it will only work if you use inline script (which is not necessarily advantageous).
