converting normal date to epochtime
<p>I was trying to use a graph plugin which only accepts input dates of format "<code>1196463600000</code>" which i guess is epoch timestamp. but my date format is in the format "<code>2005-01-01</code>" , I have searched a lot to find a way to convert the normal time format to epoch, bt could nt find any.. is the time conversion possible using javascript ?? could any one suggest a good method to do it??</p>

<p>ive tried <code>new Date('2005.01.01').getTime() / 1000;</code>  bt it did nt work</p>
