I tried to split data as below, but the error "dat.split is not a function" displays. Anyone know how can I solve this problem?
var dat = new Date("2009/12/12");
var r = dat.split('/');

You can't split() a Date - you can split() a String, though:
var dat = "2009/12/12";
var r = dat.split('/');
returns:
["2009", "12", "12"]
To do the equivalent with a date, use something like this:
var dat = new Date();
var r = [dat.getFullYear(), dat.getMonth() + 1, dat.getDate()];
returns:
[2009, 4, 17]

Do you just want to get the year, month and day? In that case you'd be better off using a non-locale dependent solution and calling the following functions:
dat.getDay();
dat.getMonth();
dat.getFullYear();
Sure they won't be zero padded, but that's easy enough to do.

try
dat.toString().split('/');
but this solution is locale dependent

new Date("2009/12/12").toString().split('/'); // ["Sat Dec 12 2009 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)"]

hey did I just found a bug in stackoverflow, I am pretty sure I deleted my answer because I found there's a problem as noted by the comment above. Plus, the author of the comment above is 'null'.
