Shouldn't April be "pr"?
Yes, you are right. Changed.
@jed: I just found out that new Date([string]) internally calls Date.parse - so if it was not available anyway, we could only use eval for call will not work on new Date, thus enlargening the function quite a bit. Anyway, I will try to get Timezone handling inside this later.
Maybe this will help somehow for timezones:
var timezone = -7;
var d = new Date();
d.setUTCFullYear(2011, 6, 1) /* 1 Jul 2011 */
d.setUTCHours(1 + timezone, 0, 0) /* 01:00:00 UTC -7 hours */
console.log(d.toUTCString());
// Thu, 30 Jun 2011 18:00:00 GMT
Works well in IE6+, Fx, Op, node.js
currently, I can cope for the given Date's timezone:
function(a){a=a.split(/[^\w-]\D?/);return new Date(a[3],"anebarprayunulugepctovec".search(a[1])/2,a[2],a[4]+(0|a[7].slice(2,5)),a[5],a[6])}
This doesn't take care of the local timezone, though - and I already got 139 bytes without the polyfill prefix.
Date.parse has been around since ES1 making a fallback seems a bit out of place. Also the workings of ES5/5.1 Date.parse are a bit too complex to fit in 140bytes.
nice idea - I will look into it later.
