Try Following Code in IE 11.

var d= new Date();
var lt=d.toLocaleTimeString();
var localeTime= lt.split(“:”);
var str=parseInt(localeTime[0]);
  1. parseInt is returning NaN.
  2. Try passing the value at localeTime[0] directly to parseInt() . It gives correct output which is numeric form of String passed to parseInt() .
  3. Try localeTime[0]===Value at localeTime[0] . The output is false.

  • why don't you call the appropriate getters? Commented Sep 29, 2016 at 17:49
  • Also fails with Number(localeTime[0]); Commented Sep 29, 2016 at 17:57
  • I will do that , I just want to know why the parseInt() is not able to convert string from the array to number. Commented Sep 29, 2016 at 17:57

If you run localeTime[0].length you will see that it returns 4.

localeTime[0] // "20"
localeTime[0].length // 4
x.charCodeAt(0) // 8206 -> ???
x.charCodeAt(1) // 50 -> "2" as expected
x.charCodeAt(2) // 48 -> "0" as expected
x.charCodeAt(3) // 8206 -> ???

For some reason in IE there are also two additional characters at start and end of token.

In order to make it work you would need to normalize string by removing all non-alphanumeric characters.

parseInt(localeTime[0].replace(/\W/, '')) // returns 20 as expected
