How can I convert normal date 2012.08.10 to unix timestamp in javascript?

Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/J2pWj/

I've seen many posts here that convert it in PHP, Ruby, etc... But I need to do this inside JS.

var datestr = '2012.08.10';
var timestamp = (new Date(datestr.split(".").join("-")).getTime())/1000;
