date formating

[spicymango]

Hi,

I want to subtract 12 months from the current date and get the result in this format(6/26/2008).
How can i do that following gives me date in different format. I will appreciate your help.

<script>
var today       =new Date();
 
var ten_days_ago=new Date().setDate(today.getDate()-365);
var startDate= new Date(ten_days_ago);
alert(startDate);

</script>

[tt]startDate_formatted=(startDate.getMonth()+1) + "/" + startDate.getDate() + "/" +startDate.getFullYear();[/tt]

thanks for your reply, I actually also wanted to subtract 12 months as well from the current date. I got this code, it work fine, but on Fire FOx it give me year 107, instead 2007, don't know why it does that on FireFox, works fine IE.

<script>
function year_before(s) {
    // parse s for month, day, year
    var dateArray = s.split('/');
    sdate = new Date(dateArray[2],dateArray[0]-1,dateArray[1]);
// figure out day, month, year  ago
    var odate = new Date(sdate.getTime() - (365 * 86400000));
// return value
    return (odate.getMonth()+1) + '/' + odate.getDate() + '/' + odate.getYear();
}
var year_ago = year_before("06/02/2008");
alert( year_ago);
</script>

</script>
