javascript: fetch day of the week based on a specific date -

i searched stackoverflow did not find solution problem.

i have specific date 2014-05-20 , want day of week mentioned date.

i tried following

var date = new date(); console.log(date.getday());

but return current day. require day based on given date!

i tried

var givendate = '2014-05-20'; new date(givendate)

but above not generate anything.

your question both code combine , check answer on without answer still show code,

var givendate = '2014-05-20'; var date = new date(givendate); console.log(date.getday());
