Answer 1

Are you trying to assign, day to 44, month to 01 and year to 1985?

Answer 2

yes, but based on the format because the format changes according to the language and country of origin eg yyyy / mm / dd, dd / mm / yyyy

dd = 44
mm = 01
yyyy = 1985

Answer 3

Not sure if this is the sort of thing you need as I hardly do any html or javascript and i'm not sure how is impacts the language and country of origin...but if had a go anyway. maybe it's too simplistic for your needs...

<script>
var d = new Date();
var datestr = "17/07/1968";

var year = datestr.substr(6,4);
d.setFullYear(year);

var Month = datestr.substr(3,2);
d.setMonth(Month);

var Day = datestr.substr(0,2)
d.setMonth(Day)

document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = d;
</script>
Have a look at the "Date" "get" methods eg getMonth()
