Hi all. I'm a javascript newbie and I'm stuck, so I've got some questions.

The first one is, I know you can store the date like this....
Code:
var mydate = new Date(2000, 11, 31);
But on the web page the person enters the date like this..... 31/12/2000. So is it possible to code it this way....
Code:
var mydate = new Date(31/12/2000);
I couldn't find anything on the internet, so maybe someone can offer some tips or help? Thanks.
