Developer-written, custom formats may be used by supplying both a formatting and a parsing function which perform to specialized requirements. The functions are stored in parseFunctions and formatFunctions.

// parse a February date string containing only year and month values.
// setting the default day value to 1 prevents weird date rollover issues
// when attempting to parse the following date string on, for example, March 31st 2009.

var dt = new Date('10/29/2006').add(Ext.Date.DAY, 5);

// Negative values will be subtracted:
var dt2 = new Date('10/1/2006').add(Ext.Date.DAY, -5);
document.write(dt2); //returns 'Tue Sep 26 2006 00:00:00'

//correct way:
