i am trying to format a date as well but in the following format... yyyy-mm-dd. I would like the month and day to have a leading zero if less than 10. I tried the given solution but it doesn't work for me. Can anyone help out with a different solution? Thanks.

var datetest = Date.parse(datetext);
nDate = new Date(datetest);
DateYear = nDate.getFullYear();
DateMonth = nDate.getMonth();
DateMonth = DateMonth + 1;
DateDay = nDate.getDate();

DateCompare = DateYear + &quot;-&quot; + DateMonth + &quot;-&quot; + DateDay

i would like datemonth and dateday to have a leading zero before i put it in datecompare.

cylly,

First cast both of your integer variables to strings :

strDateMonth = &quot;&quot; + DateMonth;

(I dunno if strDateMonth = (String) DateMonth would work, it works in java, dunno about javascript, just do it the above way to be safe)

Then check for the length of the strings, don't want to put a leading zero if it's 10, 11, or 12:

if (strDateMonth.length == 1) {

}

And inside the if block just use string concatenation to stick the zero on the front:

strDateMonth = &quot;0&quot; + strDateMonth;


that should do it
