I've got a JavaScript Date extension library that might help here: http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/JavaScript/Extensions/DP_D ateExtensions/Index.cfm It has a static method, Date.parse8601(), that will parse common ISO 8601 dates into a native JavaScript date (and honor the 8601 rules for timezone conversion). The formats handled are the same as those in this commonly referenced W3C note: http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime It's easy to format an 8601 date in that style in CF. The library also provides CF-Style date and time format, compare, add and diff methods. It's open-sourced under the liberal BSD license.
