To make your question easier your problem is with:
1 | new Date('2014-02-18 15:00:48') |
This work okay in chrome but not in safari. The mdn talks about ECMAScript 5 ISO-8601 format support says:
1 | Alternatively, the date/time string may be in ISO 8601 format. For example, "2011-10-10" (just date) or "2011-10-10T14:48:00" (date and time) can be passed and parsed. |
If you include T it works:
1 | new Date('2014-02-18T15:00:48') |
==You can use new
Date(‘2014-02-18T15:00:48’.replace(/\s/, ‘T’)).==
If you handle a lot of cases like this I will recommend using moment which seems to handle this case very well with or without T: parsing from string. Additionally your whole example is easier with momentjs:
1 | var minutes = moment().diff("2014-02-18 15:00:48", 'minutes'); |
