I'd like to add an automatically updating date field to a webpage. I found the below example on the internet which works brilliantly except I'd like an ordinal date (e.g. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th)
instead of a cardinal date (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4).
How could I do that with this small bit of javascript code?
<script language = "JavaScript">
var now = new Date();
var monNames = new
Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");
document.write("Last updated: " + now.getDate() + " " +
monNames[now.getMonth()] + " " + now.getFullYear());
</script>
How do I get the ordinal of a form element from a reference to the object itself.
For example:
<html> <script language="javascript"> function disp_val(objField){ alert(---the ordinal of objField in form---) } </script> <body> <form> <input type="text" onblur="disp_val(this)"><br> <input type="text" onblur="disp_val(this)"> </form> </body> </html>
I need to pass the ordinal to another function which I have no control over. Not having any luck figuring this out. I'm sure it's simple and I'm missing the obvious solution. I'm workign strictly with IE 5.5+.
I've written several scripts that have "while" blocks which increment a date by one day if the date does not match one of a group of dates. However, sometimes it apparently steps out out the while loop even though my condition isn't met. Will work for a few loops then steps out often.
Are there javascript "date" issues? I have also noticed different results between Firefox and Internet Explorer.
I've browsed through past usenet archives, but can't seem to come across quite the javascript I'm looking for. I'm looking for a simple javascript that will display the date as such:
May 17
So basically, just displaying the current month and the current date. But I would also like the ability to backdate by one day, two days, etc.. So the next date might look as such:
May 15
Which would be two days earlier than today's date, but in keeping with the same format.
This problem seems to occur dependant on the computer system settings. I have no issues when the system date is set as M/d/yyyy but I do have a problem with the system date set as d/M/yyyy.
I have a text box on a web page that holds the date ie) document.frmTimesheet.tWeekFrom.value = 19/12/2004
theDate = new Date(document.frmTimesheet.tWeekFrom.value);
// split into day, month, year iDay = theDate.getDate(); iMonth = theDate.getMonth()+1; iYear = theDate.getFullYear();
I am currently using a function to validate a form on the client side (see code below). At the end of the function, I would like it to also compare a startDate against an endDate to ensure that the endDate is greater than (comes after) the startDate. The date format I'm using is MM/DD/YYYY and it's writing to an MS SQL Server 2000 database table via ASP. Code:
I have a successful script for determining today's date. Does anyone have anything for determining tomorrow and the next day since it would have to look at the day of month and month of year?
A HTML Form has 2 sets of 3 dropdown select lists. The 1st set is for users to enter the start time & the 2nd set is for users to enter the end time. The 1st dropdown select list in both the sets is where users will select hours, the 2nd dropdown select list in both the sets is where users will select minutes (the 2nd dropdown select list in both the sets have 4 options - 00, 15, 30 & 45). The 3rd dropdown select list in both the sets is where users will select either AM or PM.
Now it's quite obvious that the start time can come after the end time (on the same date). For e.g. you can't let users select the start time as 9:00 AM & the end time as 6:00 AM.
How do I validate that the end time always comes after the start time & vice-versa?
Here is my problem, I am trying to get the difference of two different date. I want to get how much hour and second is their different. My problem is the 1st date is using a different format this is the example:2010-05-01 13:46:04 the second one is I am trying to get the today's time and date by using this code: "currentTime.getTime()". Here is my whole code
I would like to know how to achieve this. I want to know the difference between two dates in months, how much days left over, and how much hours left over. I do not need days or hours equivalent to the months remaining. The problem is I also want it to consider February's less than 30 days and 29 days in leap year. I spend my entire week trying to figure out how to do it.
In the end I want values in variable months_left, days_left, and hours_left. I tried modifying several date deference scripts but I couldn't get them to work as intended.
I have two date fields (check in, check out) and "number of days" field.
I want the script to calculate automatically the difference. For example: I have defaults dates, and I want the script to put the difference in "number of days" field. And if the user will change the date, the number of days will change automatically.
I'm trying to get a select box to automaticly populate the year ranging from 2008 to the current year + two years.Below I've put the code I've got so far which populates it with the current year plus two years so for example at the moment it shows 2009, 2010 & 2011. Next year it would show 2010, 2011, 2012 but I need it to start at 2008 so this year it would show 2008, 2009, 2011 & 2012 and next year 2008, 2009, 2011 & 2012.
Code:
<script type="text/javascript"> var year = new Date(); var nextYear = year.getFullYear()+1; var nextYear2 = year.getFullYear()+2;
Here is my dilemna. I know HTML...and that's about it. So someone decided to give me a project that involves JavaScript. i've been reading tutorials online as much as possible...but I am a way beginner - be soft on me.
I have a form that had many drop down boxes. When a user selects a specific request type it populates the standard turnaround time in business days.
I need the "Standard Delivery Date" box to then autopopulate today's date plus the standard turnaround time that pops up in that field. How??
Here is a code that I have been working on - but so far it's not working.code...
i have found one, and its close to it and need a little tweak to work on second textbox
<script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function addDays(myDate, days){
[code].....
i have two input textbox for dates, one is date borrowed which from date picker calendar 07/21/2009 and what i would like to make is the second textbox would be auto compute for X months meaning the second input textbox whould display a value = 01/21/2010 if i assign a 6 months variable
I have the following script function timeDifference(laterdate,earlierdate) { var difference = laterdate.getTime() - earlierdate.getTime(); var daysDifference = Math.floor(difference/1000/60/60/24); difference -= daysDifference*1000*60*60*24 document.write('difference = ' + daysDifference + ' day/s '); } var laterdate = ?; var earlierdate = ?; timeDifference(laterdate,earlierdate); //--></script>
And would like to insert my datein and dateout values where the ? marks are above in red. I can call these variables into the form on the page using <%=Request("datein")%> but how do I call a variable into the script above?
I have to do validation on a form for 2 dates(StartDate and EndDate)the dates cannot be more than four months apart if they are an alert must be displayed. In other words Nov 2009 till March 2010 or May 2009 till September 2009 should be invalid regardless of the day of the month Simply 2 input boxes(StartDate and EndDate) and a submit I've got the other parts of my page worked out just this has me stumped
Calculating the difference between two dates in JavaScript is relatively straightforward, provided you choose the right Date methods to work with. Whichever way you get there. code...
So I'm supposed to be using a form to get the date of Easter or Ash Wednesday and return the other. It should also check that the date for Easter is a Sunday and the date for Ash Wednesday is indeed on Wednesday. What I have so far isn't working. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I know my if...else logic isn't going to work right since I've assigned new Date () to easter and ash. How to clean this up and get it working right?
<html> <head> <title>Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday</title> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var ash = new Date(); var easter = new Date(); var temp; var month = new Array ("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
function convMonth (){ }function fnAshToEaster (){ ash.setDate(document.formAshToEaster.ashDate.value); ash.setMonth(document.formAshToEaster.ashMonth.value); ash.setYear(document.formAshToEaster.ashYear.value); easter.setDate(document.formAshToEaster.easterDate.value); easter.setMonth(document.formAshToEaster.easterMonth.value); easter.setYear(document.formAshToEaster.easterYear.value); if (ash == "") .....
Code: <script language = 'JavaScript'> <!-- function checkDate() { var d1, d2 d1 = new Date(document.form1.date1.value) d2 = new Date(document.form1.date2.value)
if (d2.getTime() < d1.getTime()) { window.alert ("The end date can not be before the start date.") return false } else { return true } } //--> </script> , where date2 is the end date and date1 is the start date.
