In Full Calendar, I populate a ui.dialog form on event click, allowing the user to edit the event details.

The form I use, splits the start date into separate date and time components for various ui related reasons.

Thus I need to do a little date parsing.

In firefox, chrome and safai, the date format returned by event.start is as follows:  

"Tue Feb 15 2011 14:00:00 GMT+1100 (EST)"

In IE8 However (have not tested other ie versions) the date format returned by event.start looks like this:

"Tue Feb 15 14:00:00 UTC+1100 2011"

This obviously causes issues with date parsing in my code.

ps. What functions in FullCalendar handles the parsing of JSON dates ?

The given start is a JS date object so you should be able to do any formatting you need with the build in Date functions.

If you print the given start its toString() function seems to differ from browser to browser.
