This bug report is about the `Date` documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date

The page correctly states that parsing date strings with JavaScript's `Date` is "strongly discouraged due to browser differences and inconsistencies", but still the first usage examples show exactly how to do that. I would vote to remove those examples completely or at least move them closer to the warning.
Thanks, I updated the page. Usually we don't duplicate code examples, so I removed the block at the very top and added a warning banner to the same code that is in the example section.
