Hi Stevan,
This is not Qooxdoo related proposal but if you have the date as a sting in
one format and want just to convert it to another format can't you just do:
var date = "Tue Feb 09 2010 00:00:00 GMT+0100";
var m=[];
m["Jan"]="01";m["Feb"]="02";m["Mar"]="03";m["Apr"]="04";m["May"]="05";m["Jun"]="06";
m["Jul"]="07";m["Aug"]="08";m["Sep"]="09";m["Oct"]="10";m["Nov"]="11";m["Dec"]="12";
f = date.match(/^\w+ (\w+) (\d+) (\d+)/);
var newdate = f[3] + "/" + m[f[1]] + "/" + f[2];
alert(newdate);
Or similar.
