What time format is this and how can I reformat it using JQuery?

Question

What time format is this and how can I reformat it using JQuery? It's from a pubdate from an podcast XML.

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:15:58 -0700

Is there a precise name for this date format? I haven't seen this exact one anywhere and it's baffling me a bit. I've tried the plugin listed below but it doesn't work correctly or take this date input.

Answer 1

JS understands that format (RFC 1123) :

javascript:alert(new Date(Date.parse('Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:15:58 -0700')))

Answer 2

You'll need a plugin. A quick search pulled up http://plugins.jquery.com/project/jquery-dateFormat
