An Extended ISO 8601 local Date format `YYYY-MM-DD` can be parsed to a
Date with the following:-

/**Parses string formatted as YYYY-MM-DD to a Date object.
* If the supplied string does not match the format, an
* invalid Date (value NaN) is returned.
* @param {string} dateStringInRange format YYYY-MM-DD, with year in
* range of 0000-9999, inclusive.
* @return {Date} Date object representing the string.
*/
function parseISO8601(dateStringInRange) {
var isoExp = /^\s*(\d{4})-(\d\d)-(\d\d)\s*$/,
  date = new Date(NaN), month,
  parts = isoExp.exec(dateStringInRange);

if(parts) {
month = +parts[2];
date.setFullYear(parts[1], month - 1, parts[3]);
if(month != date.getMonth() + 1) {
  date.setTime(NaN);
}
}
return date;
}

If the date string St is known to be valid YYYY-MM-DD,
        D= new Date(St.replace(/-/g, "/"))
will work.
