parseInt() problem

I have a string which is always in this format dd/mm/yyyy

i do the following to retrieve the month :-

var month = parseInt(sDate.substring(3, 5));

however there is a problem with this.

I have alerted the values out of sDate.substring(3, 5) and month when i enter different values :-


sDate.substring(3, 5) | month
------------------------------------------
01 | 1
02 | 2
03 | 3
04 | 4
05 | 5
06 | 6
07 | 7
08 | 0
09 | 0
10 | 10
11 | 11
12 | 12


Why is 08, and 09 being parsed to a 0 ????????
how can I fix this?
Really need to sort this asap so any help would be great.

thanks, Dale

I've solved it,

If anyone has read it my above post and been stumped the reason is here:

Ya, I got in the habit of using parseInt( num, 10 ) a while ago.

Glad you found your answer.

var month = parseInt(sDate.substring(3, 5),10);

And now the answer is here too.

Actually a search of this forum would have also brought up several threads with the answer:
