Date Format

[cdumigan]

Hi,
I'm just wondering what the correct format is for writing dates in JavaScript. Is it, for example: Thu, 09-Jan-90 00:00:01 GMT?
Thanks,
Conor

There are many ways to write the date using JS...
There's isn't one format (or a right and wrong), you would use the .getDate, getMonth, getFullYear syntax...
This is what I use in my website:

<SCRIPT>
var mydate=new Date()
var theYear=mydate.getFullYear()
var day=mydate.getDay()
var month=mydate.getMonth()
var daym=mydate.getDate()
if (daym<10)
daym=&quot;0&quot;+daym
var dayarray=new Array(&quot;Sunday&quot;,&quot;Monday&quot;,&quot;Tuesday&quot;,&quot;Wednesday&quot;,&quot;Thursday&quot;,&quot;Friday&quot;,&quot;Saturday&quot
var montharray=new Array(&quot;01&quot;,&quot;02&quot;,&quot;03&quot;,&quot;04&quot;,&quot;05&quot;,&quot;06&quot;,&quot;07&quot;,&quot;08&quot;,&quot;09&quot;,&quot;10&quot;,&quot;11&quot;,&quot;12&quot
document.write(&quot;<font face='Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif'><h6>&quot;+dayarray[day]+&quot;<br>&quot;+montharray[month]+&quot;/&quot;+daym+&quot;/&quot;+theYear+&quot;</h6></font>&quot
</SCRIPT>

The document.write method displays the date on the browser in any location. I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...
