title: Javascript Date Object from string in form 'HH-MM'
body: <p>Hey, just wondering how to convert an <code>HH:MM</code> string into a javascript <code>Date</code> object. I have tried <code>new Date(string);</code> and <code>myDate.setTime()</code> but to no avail.</p>
  
  <p>A side question could be: How to convert a string in <code>HH:MM</code> into milliseconds from Jan 1, 1970.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help in advance.</p>
