Parsing UK Date in javascript

To reach a date object with UK format in javascript has no straight road. Well you can use split map to reach there.
Consider this example
var ukDate = new Date("01/12/2011");
well for javascript it is
Wed Jan 12 2011 00:00:00
but we can use the split() object to first separate the date using “/” as separator and then create the Date Object
Consider this example

var ukDate="01/12/2011";

var dateArray=ukDate.split("/");

var newDate=new Date(dateArray[2], dateArray[1]-1,dateArray[0]);

not output will be
Thu Dec 01 2011
and your are done
