title: Jquery Date.parse returning NaN in Chrome browser?
body: <p>I have a senario where i have to parse two dates for example start date and end date.</p>
  
  <pre><code>var startdate = '02/01/2011';
  var enddate = '31/12/2011';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But if we alert start date </p>
  
  <pre><code> alert(Date.Parse(startdate)); i will get 1296498600000
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but if i alert enddate </p>
  
  <pre><code> alert(Date.Parse(enddate)); i will get NaN
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this is working in other browsers except Chrome, But in other browsers</p>
  
  <pre><code>alert(Date.Parse(enddate)); i will get 1370889000000
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anybody know a workaround for this?</p>
