Hi Rathika,

You can use a javascript function called split().

Check out this link - JavaScript String split() Method

My recommendation would be to parse the display value of the object. You should be able to do this with a clever split() method.

If that's not an option, use a GlideAjax operation to send the date time to the server, parse it there, convert it to a date object and send it back.

something like this. WARNING: Untested code!

var dateTimeStr = g_form.getValue('u_date_time');

var dateArr = dateTimeStr.split(' ');

var date = dateArr[0];

[jimnicholson]

var datePart = g_form.getValue('dateField').split(' ')[0];

Should do the trick.
