grayliner · Feb 17, 2002

ok so i'm trying to get the Day to show up, i know of the dateObj.getDay() and i have the array built to house the names of the days, but i can't get it to work, check out my code and let me know what is wrong with it

var days = new Array(7)
days[0] = "Sunday"
days[1] = "Monday"
days[2] = "Tuesday"
days[3] = "Wednesday"
days[4] = "Thursday"
days[5] = "Friday"
days[6] = "Saturday"

var seasons = new Array(4)
seasons[0] = "Fall"
seasons[1] = "Winter"
seasons[2] = "Spring"
seasons[3] = "Summer"

var browser = navigator.appName
var version = navigator.appVersion

var cute = new Date();
var hour = cute.getHours();
var minutes = cute.getMinutes();
if (hour > "12&quot

hours = (hour * 1) - 12;
else
hours = hour;
var time = hour + ":" + minutes;

function promptwindow() {

var promptwin = prompt("What is your name?","&quot

;

if ( (promptwin == null) || (promptwin == "&quot

)
promptwin = "NO DATA"

newWindow=window.open("","","status,height=200,width=300&quot

;
newWindow.document.open();
newWindow.document.write('<html><body>');
newWindow.document.write(promptwin);
newWindow.document.write('<br><strong>Browser:</strong> ', browser);
newWindow.document.write('<br><strong>Version:</strong> ', version);
newWindow.document.write('<br><strong>Time:</strong> ', time);
newWindow.document.write(dateobj.getdays())
newWindow.document.write('</body></html>');
newWindow.document.close();
}

Do you ever read your error messages?
on the line:

Code:

newWindow.document.write(dateobj.getdays())

Code:

dateobj

is undefined! That means that you never created an object called dateobj. Remember that the object you created for the date is

Code:

cute

.

Oh, and take note: There are no functions

Code:

getdays()

or

Code:

getDays()

for a Date object. There is, however, a

Code:

getDate()

function.

i dont get error messages when i program in IE6.0 The pen is mightier than the sword.

hmm... I'm using IE 6.0.2600.0000
And I got an error message.

And yes, indeed, that error message is supposed to be there;

Code:

dateobj

was never defined.

Maybe you have IE set not to inform you for every JavaScript error (under Tools >> Internet Options >> Advanced, there should be a checkbox labeled: Display a notification about every script error. I have this checked whenever I code or test code)
