I have a string Feb 2012. How can I convert it to FEBRUARY 2012. Actually I have a whole array ['Jan 2011', 'Feb 2011', 'Mar 2011', ... ] I need to convert each element and get ['JANUARY 2011', ...]

Assuming the strings are always formatted as '{monthShortForm} {year}', you can do the following:
var input = 'Jan 2011';
var parts = input.split(' ');
var output = longForm[parts[0].toLowerCase()] + ' ' + parts[1];
where longForm is a map like so
longForm = { 'jan': 'JANUARY', 'feb': 'FEBRUARY', /* etc */ };
Hope that helps.

var dt = new Date("Feb 2012"), // FEBRUARY 2012
m_names = ["JANUARY", "FEBRUARY", "March",
"April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September",
"October", "November", "December"];
var curr_month = dt.getMonth(),
curr_year = dt.getFullYear();
console.log(m_names[curr_month] + " " + curr_year);

var myDate = new Date(Date.parse("Mar 2012"));
var monthNum = myDate.getMonth();
var year = myDate.getFullYear();
Now turn the monthNum into a string. I suggest an array of 12 strings, and array[monthNum] to get the proper one.

If you're going to be doing other time and date based manipulations in your app, I'd recommend using Moment.js (http://momentjs.com/). It's a really powerful library - perhaps a little too much so if this is all you need to do - but worth looking into anyway.
To answer your question with Moment.js, this is the snippet you'd need:
moment('Feb 2011', 'MMM YYYY').format('MMMM YYYY').toUpperCase();
// FEBRUARY 2011

Try this using jQuery:
var arr = ["Jan 2011", "Feb 2011", "Mar 2011"];
var name = ["JANUARY", "FEBRUARY", "MARCH"];
var list = new Array();
// Loop through the array arr
$.each(arr, function(i, value) {
// Convert the month names
var month = name[i];
var year = value.split(" ")[1];
// Display the result
alert(month + ' ' + year);
// Add elements to a new array
list.push(month + ' ' + year);
});
console.log(list);
Console Result:
["JANUARY 2011", "FEBRUARY 2011", "MARCH 2011"]
Hope this helps!
