I have this simple script to run-

1. 
   
2. var date = '2016-01-01 00:00:00';
3. var n = date.toISOString();
4. 
   
5. alert(n);

But instead it returns error: Uncaught TypeError: date.toISOString is not a function

I want to convert the date string into ISO date format which is compatible with firefox. However its not working in Jquery. Is there a different function for ISO date format conversion for Jquery or is there any error in my script?
