javascript conversion string to UTC date

I'm converting string to timestamp by using 

 var  timestamp = new Date(month+"/"+day+"/"+year).getTime()/ 1000;

My question is how to set it as UTC timezone before converting to timestamp ?

Solution

  • Use the Date.UTC() method instead of .getTime().

    var timestamp = Date.UTC(year,month,day) / 1000;

    (Note: the month is expected to be from 0-11, not 1-12.)
