如果只是将当前时间转成时间戳，可以直接使用new Date().getTime()/1000；但如果是将某个具体时间或日期转成Unix时间戳，ie不支持像new Date(“2013-1-1”) 这样带参数的方法，将返回NaN。
对此，我写了以下函数，支持ie6+，谷歌，火狐等浏览器：
function getTime(day){
re = /(\d{4})(?:-(\d{1,2})(?:-(\d{1,2}))?)?(?:\s+(\d{1,2}):(\d{1,2}):(\d{1,2}))?/.exec(day);
return new Date(re[1],(re[2]||1)-1,re[3]||1,re[4]||0,re[5]||0,re[6]||0).getTime()/1000;
}
//test
alert(getTime("2013-02-03 10:10:10"));
alert(getTime("2013-02-03"));
alert(getTime("2013-02"));
alert(getTime("2013"));
下面这个将时间戳转换成日期格式的函数，支持自定义的日期格式，效果类似PHP的date函数，同样支持ie6+，谷歌，火狐等浏览器。这个函数是网友实现的，以后有时间我也写一个出来 ^_^
