Help With JavaScript Needed

George Chernikov · 03-31-2009, 02:00 PM

Hi all,

I'm having enormous trouble with JavaScript (possibly because I don't know the first thing about it).

I'm using a short script to display tomorrow's date (which changes dynamically whenever you visit the site). The code is as follows:

Code:

<script>
var tomorrow = new Date ();
tomorrow.setDate (tomorrow.getDate() + 1)
document.write(tomorrow + ". ");
</script>

It gets the job done - but it displays the date in its entirety, including the time - for example: Wed Apr 01 2009 21:00:23 GMT+0200 (Romance Daylight Time).

What I'm trying to do is to get it to display just the day (e.g., April 1, 2009).

Any idea how to do that?

Hope that helps.

Janet,

Thanks a lot - this script works, but I still have the problem with the result being displayed as: Wed Apr 01 2009 21:00:23 GMT+0200 (Romance Daylight Time).

Is there a way to make it show April 1, 2009, rather than the whole long thing (it looks hideous)?

Never mind, got it - all it took was the following:

Code:

document.write(tomorrow.toLocaleDateString());

Can a moderator please move this to the Programming forum?
