If somebody needs it, here is a calculator to convert human date to epoch timestamp in milliseconds, that is, milliseconds since standard epoch of 1/1/1970 as used, for example, in JavaScript Date object. I needed it to fill JSON data.
Calculator does the following:
output.SetValue(Date.UTC(
input.getFullYear(),
input.getMonth(),
input.getDate(),
input.getHours(),
input.getMinutes(),
input.getSeconds()
));As you can see, instead of a simple getTime call on Date object, which gives us milliseconds in UTC for local time (using browser's time zone), it creates UTC Date, which provides us with milliseconds in UTC for UTC time.
