How to convert milliseconds into a readable date?

Question

The following:

new Date(1324339200000).toUTCString()

Outputs:

"Tue, 20 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT"

I need it to return Dec 20. Is there a better method I can use besides toUTCString()? I am looking for any way to parse through milliseconds, to return a human-readable date.

Answer 1

You can do it by using tostring and Date functions like this:

var date = new Date(1324339200000);

date.toString("MMM dd")
