parseInt failing in IE
<p>Pretty self explanatory when you look at the following, but basically, a date string in a disabled field is pulled out.  I split it by the forward slash, and I have tried everything I can think of to parse it into a number, but nothing works?  I have been at this for hours.  Any thoughts?</p>

<pre><code>$('input[id$="ChestImagingDay5"]').val();

"‎8‎/‎6‎/‎2015"

$('input[id$="ChestImagingDay5"]').val().split('/')

[
   0: "‎8‎",
   1: "‎6‎",
   2: "‎2015",
   length: 3
]

$('input[id$="ChestImagingDay5"]').val().split('/')[0]

"‎8‎"

parseInt($('input[id$="ChestImagingDay5"]').val().split('/')[0])

NaN

parseInt($('input[id$="ChestImagingDay5"]').val().toString().split('/')[0])

NaN

parseInt($('input[id$="ChestImagingDay5"]').val().toString().split('/')[0].toString())

NaN

parseInt($('input[id$="ChestImagingDay5"]').val().toString().split('/')[0].toString(),10)

NaN

parseInt($('input[id$="ChestImagingDay5"]').val().toString().split('/')[0].toString(),'10')

NaN
</code></pre>

<p>Edit:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;input name="ctl00$ctl00$cphMain$plFormContent$txtChestImagingDay5" type="text" id="cphMain_plFormContent_txtChestImagingDay5" disabled="disabled" class="aspNetDisabled classTarget" style="width:94px;"&gt;
</code></pre>
