            The date parsing and format syntax is a subset of
<a href="http://www.php.net/date">PHP's date() function</a>, and the formats that are
supported will provide results equivalent to their PHP versions.
The following is a list of all currently supported formats:
<pre>Format  Description                                                               Example returned values

  o     ISO-8601 year number (identical to (Y), but if the ISO week number (W)    Examples: 1998 or 2004
        belongs to the previous or next year, that year is used instead)

  i     Minutes, with leading zeros                                               00 to 59
  s     Seconds, with leading zeros                                               00 to 59

Example usage (note that you must escape format specifiers with '\\' to render them as character literals):
<pre><code><i>// Sample date:</i>
<i>// <em>'Wed Jan 10 2007 15:05:01 GMT-0600 (Central Standard Time)'</em></i>

<b>var</b> dt = <b>new</b> Date(<em>'1/10/2007 03:05:01 PM GMT-0600'</em>);
document.write(dt.format(<em>'Y-m-d'</em>));                         <i>// 2007-01-10</i>
document.write(dt.format(<em>'F j, Y, g:i a'</em>));                 <i>// January 10, 2007, 3:05 pm</i>
document.write(dt.format(<em>'l, \\t\\he jS of F Y h:i:s A'</em>));  // Wednesday, the 10th of January 2007 03:05:01 PM</code></pre>
Here are some standard date/time patterns that you might find helpful.  They
are not part of the source of Date.js, but to use them you can simply copy this
block of code into any script that is included after Date.js and they will also become
globally available on the Date object.  Feel free to add or remove patterns as needed in your code.
<pre><code>Date.patterns = {
    ISO8601Long:<em>"Y-m-d H:i:s"</em>,
    ISO8601Short:<em>"Y-m-d"</em>,
    ShortDate: <em>"n/j/Y"</em>,
    LongDate: <em>"l, F d, Y"</em>,
    FullDateTime: <em>"l, F d, Y g:i:s A"</em>,
    MonthDay: <em>"F d"</em>,
    ShortTime: <em>"g:i A"</em>,
    LongTime: <em>"g:i:s A"</em>,
    SortableDateTime: <em>"Y-m-d\\TH:i:s"</em>,
    UniversalSortableDateTime: <em>"Y-m-d H:i:sO"</em>,
    YearMonth: <em>"F, Y"</em>
};</code></pre>
Example usage:
<pre><code>var dt = <b>new</b> Date();
document.write(dt.format(Date.patterns.ShortDate));</code></pre>        </div>

                &lt;static&gt; Parses the passed string using the specified format. Note that this function expects dates in normal calendar
format, meaning that months are 1-based (1 = January) and not zero-based like in JavaScript dates.  Any part of
the date format that is not specified will default to the current date value for that part.  Time parts can also
be specified, but default to 0.  Keep in mind that the input date string must precisely match the specified format
string or the parse operation will fail.
Example Usage:

                Provides a convenient method of performing basic date arithmetic.  This method
does not modify the Date instance being called - it creates and returns
a new Date instance containing the resulting date value.
Examples:
<pre><code><i>//Basic usage:</i>
<b>var</b> dt = <b>new</b> Date(<em>'10/29/2006'</em>).add(Date.DAY, 5);
document.write(dt); <i>//returns <em>'Fri Oct 06 2006 00:00:00'</em></i>

<i>//Negative values will subtract correctly:</i>
<b>var</b> dt2 = <b>new</b> Date(<em>'10/1/2006'</em>).add(Date.DAY, -5);
document.write(dt2); <i>//returns <em>'Tue Sep 26 2006 00:00:00'</em></i>

<i>//You can even chain several calls together <b>in</b> one line!</i>
<b>var</b> dt3 = <b>new</b> Date(<em>'10/1/2006'</em>).add(Date.DAY, 5).add(Date.HOUR, 8).add(Date.MINUTE, -30);
document.write(dt3); //returns <em>'Fri Oct 06 2006 07:30:00'</em></code></pre>    <div class="mdetail-params">

                Creates and returns a new Date instance with the exact same date value as the called instance.
Dates are copied and passed by reference, so if a copied date variable is modified later, the original
variable will also be changed.  When the intention is to create a new variable that will not
modify the original instance, you should create a clone.
Example of correctly cloning a date:
<pre><code><i>//wrong way:</i>
<b>var</b> orig = <b>new</b> Date(<em>'10/1/2006'</em>);
<b>var</b> copy = orig;
copy.setDate(5);
document.write(orig);  <i>//returns <em>'Thu Oct 05 2006'</em>!</i>

<i>//correct way:</i>
<b>var</b> orig = <b>new</b> Date(<em>'10/1/2006'</em>);
<b>var</b> copy = orig.clone();
copy.setDate(5);
document.write(orig);  //returns <em>'Thu Oct 01 2006'</em></code></pre>    <div class="mdetail-params">

For a given date string e.g. "Thu Oct 25 2007 22:55:35 GMT+0800 (Malay Peninsula Standard Time)",
getTimezone() first tries to get the timezone abbreviation from between a pair of parentheses
(which may or may not be present), failing which it proceeds to get the timezone abbreviation
from the GMT offset portion of the date string.    <div class="mdetail-params">
