Date constructor is not working in chrome properly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I'm passing values to date constructor as below,

new Date("5/0/2014").

So Ideally it should return me below value

Wed Apr 30 2014 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time).

Where as it is returning Invalid date and the same code is working fine in IE 
and FireFox.


My Chrome Version:  26.0.1410.64 m

Operating System : Windows XP

Please let me know where is the issue?

Confirmed. Also happens on Mac, obviously, but it's a Webkit issue it seems.

Interesting issue. Obviously 5/0/2014 is actually an invalid date so this is 
sort of correct behavior and you may be left with it being an edge case as I'd 
say that FF and IE are actually wrong here...

That said - ported the issue over to my fork and will be taking a look at it:

Confirmed - it's due to FF and IE being overly permissive. There is no reason 
why they should allow 0 to go to the previous month.

I've marked it as wontfix in my fork and I doubt anyone will fix it here either.
