this question has answer here:

• where can find documentation on formatting date in javascript? 33 answers

i'm trying instance date in way

var date = new date('20/08/1990'); 

but returning invalid date.

how can it?

when passing string date constructor should use english notation dates, i.e yyyy/mm/dd.

that means should passing new date('1990/08/20');

documentation date class here.
