#268 — Date toString should specify result for "invalid dates"


+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #267 +++

15.9.5.2 says the result of Date.prototype.toString is an implementation-defined string. However, all browser implementations appear to return the string "Invalid Date" for Date objects whose time value is NaN.

This result should be specified.

Open issue: Do implementations every localize this string? Is that acceptable or should the literal text "Invalid Date" be required.


fixed in Feb. 2012 draft
