Am i breaking any rules when I loop dates like
// Determine Memorial Day
intFlag = 0;
memDayHol = new Date (currentYear, 4, 31);
while (intFlag == 0) {
if (memDayHol.getDay() == 1) {intFlag =1;}
else {memDayHol = memDayHol - 1;}
}
I can find no docs that one can use the '+' operator directly on a date
object, and it assumes adding/subtracting a day(s). Is this deprecated
code?
I have the following function that will subtract n number of days from todays date. The problem is that it always returns the the wrong calculate date. The month is wrong.
see if you can spot my mistake:
Code:
function returnDate(ndays){
var dayOfTheWeek = now.getDay();
now.setTime(now.getTime() - nDays * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
alert(now); // returns current date
alet(now.getYear() + "/"+now.getMonth()+"/"+now.getDate()) // returns new calculated date
}
Is there any way at all to create a new template object that inherits from the built in Date object so as to be able to add new methods to that child object without adding them to the built in Date object? I've tried everything I can think of and as far as I can tell it keeps referencing the Date function instead of the Date object and so doesn't work.

According to the Safari browser the world began on "Fri Dec 13 1901 15:45:52 GMT-0500", but I need to be able to get around this limitation.
I am interested in dates from 1500 to 1901, as far as I can determine, there are 14 possible calendar variations.
Year starts on Sun, Mon..... Leap year starts on Sun, Mon..
I can label these early year "types" as a number between 0 and 13.
Let's say 2005 is type 5, and that 1655 is too. (In both years Jan 1 falls on a Saturday)
I'm trying to create a function that will identify the "type" of year.
function getYearType(year){
return Number // number between 0 and 13
}
How to extend the constructor for the date object of the javasccript so that whenever a call is made to the constructor, I want to perform a particular action? Basically how to define wrappers for default javascript methods or objects like Date() so that I can perform some action and then invoke the original method? So basically if I have something like var a = new Date(); I want it to (say) alert the value of the date everything Date() is called and then execute the default date constructor.

I was wondering how you would create a javascript Date object from an ISO8601 string? We have done this successfully in FF4, but not IE.
If we try the following in FF4 it works:
alert(new Date("20091107T12:15:00))
In IE it returns:
'NaN'
What would be the Date standard used in JavaScript and AJAX from the server to the client? We were thinking about using UTC
Is it possible to convert a String of date like 12/25/2005 01:00PM to a Date object?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a question about what the most certain method to obtain the correct UTC time in javascript is.On my forum, there is a countdown clock, that should show the same amount, wherever the user is located.

I am trying to find a format for a string that could be used to instantiate a Date object which would include only a month and a year.I can't find documentation on what formats of dates are accepted.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIn the below, I would expect this to return the number of milliseconds since the epoch. Instead, it's generating a massive negative number. I presume I've gone wrong with the set[Blah] methods.

I was wondering if it is true that the Date object gets its date from the user's local time, if so, could the user "hack" the time by adjusting his local time?

I am facing issue in below code for Brisilia time zone.(GMT-3). Issue comes in October month only. It is going tobig loop. I am not getting how Date object is behaving here.
[Code]...
I was working on Date() object of javascript. When I write:
today=new Date();
year=today.getYear();
month=today.getMonth();
day=today.getDay();
Here everything was correct but when I print month then I got currentmonth-1 that if the currentmonth is 5 then t get 4. If the current month is 07 then I get 06. At last I worked by adding 1 with month like month+1.
I am trying to use my date Object function to get the date from the comp but my variables in my function are coming up undefined.
Here is my function:
function displayTime() {
var currentTime, hour, minute, second, range, m, s
currentTime = new Date()
var hourInt = currentTime.getHours()
var minuteInt = currentTime.getMinutes()
var secondInt = currentTime.getSeconds()
if (hourInt > 12) {
range = "PM"
hourInt -= 12
} else {
range = "AM"
}
hour = String(hourInt)
if (minuteInt < 10) {
m = String(0) + String(minuteInt)
} minute = m
if (secondInt < 10) {
s = String(0) + String(secondInt)
} second = s
document.timeForm.timeBox.value = hour + ":" + minute + ":" + second + " " + range
alert(hour + ":" + minute + ":" + second + " " + range)
Well, this is acutally a couple different scripts. First is the custom date object myDate which retrieves pretty much every value that you'd need from a date and sets it as a property. If no argument is supplied, the current time and date is used. If you do supply an argument, you can send an existing javascript Date object, or a string that is compatible with declaring a normal javascript Date object.
The 2nd part of this script is the method getDate (and some accompanying String methods) that allow you to retrieve the date as a string by passing it a format string just like the PHP date() (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php) function accepts. The code posted below includes sufficient (I think) examples to help you understand what is going on. You will notice that I didn't duplicate EVERY code over from PHP, and a few are slightly different. Those that I left out I felt weren't very necessary, or I didn't feel like doing the algorithm for them :D.
Both myDateObj.getDate() and PHP's date() allow you to include text into the string that you don't want parsed, but each handles it differently. In PHP, you need to escape characters normally with a backslash. For getDate you need to proceed each character with a pipe "|". So, instead of$dateStr = date("Day z");as it would be in PHP, you would usevar d = new myDate();
var dateStr = d.getDate("D|a|y| z");There are more examples of how this works below.
Note: There is also a nice arrayReplace() method for strings that is handy for doing multiple replace() operations all at once, so I guess this is really like 3 handy scripts ;)

...then add or subtract from the numeric value of hour[0] based on timezone.
EST = -5
PST = -8
What would be the best way of doing this?
What Ive done is use local storage to set a value in my web app.
Then my next task was to write said value on my page (This took me hours but finally got it done).
My next task is using Setinterval(or what ever the correct way to solve my problem) to subtract a number (lets use "1" for this example) Every 5 seconds from the local storage value.So basically After I click the button. Value is set and displayed. After another button is click. Every 5 seconds the localstorage is subtraced by 1. I think the code im looking for is similar to this
Code:
