Spliting datetime value into separate day, month, year

Jquery provides a beautiful function to do this very easily.

i.e. split()

<input type="text" id="tbDateTime" value="2010-10-18 10:06" />
<input type="text" id="tbDate" value="" />
<input type="text" id="tbTime" value="" />

<input type="button" id="btnSubmit" value="Submit" />


<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $('#btnSubmit').click(function () {
            var dateTimeSplit = $('#tbDateTime').val().split(' ');

            var dateSplit = dateTimeSplit[0].split('-');
//year            
alert(dateSplit[2]);
//month 
alert(dateSplit[1]);
//day
alert(dateSplit[0]);
     
        });
    });
</script>
