Ok, I know this isn’t a Rails problem, but if you could help me out
that’d be brill.
I’ve used JavaScript to create a new Date object containing a date of my
choice…
mydate = new Date(“11/24/2007”);
//going with Javascript’s mm/dd/yyyy format
now this is good, what i want to do now is put in an integer variable
the number for the day, in this case 24
Now if i use JavaScript’s getDay() function it will return the numeric
day of the week for that day (e.g. 2 for Monday).
what i really want is the numeric day for that date, aka 24
Looked around and Javascript doesn’t have a .day element.
Any ideas how I can accomplish this in JavaScript ?
Appreciate this, really,
John.
This works, it’s hackish but it works.
date = new Date(“11/24/2007”);
date.toDateString().split(" ")[2];
Make sure you have the space between the " " in the split function
Merry xmas,
Cam

Can’t you do:
myDate = getDate(“11/24/2007”);
MyDate.day();
Or am I dreaming?

day() is not a function. getDay() returns the ordinal day of week.
getDate() returns the day of the month.

So that’s what I get for it being a Monday, Christmas Eve no less.

Ah I totally missed that getDate() funtion as well. That’ll teach me
for not reading more closely…
Glad it worked out for you.

What a poorly named function!
