Preserved Topic: Add Date function (Page 1 of 1)

Do you know of a function in javascript that adds the number of days to the specified date? I'm having problems with the program I'm creating. Thankss...

How is the date specified?

The best way is to create a Date object, load the date into it, change it with that (Javascript will handle all the annoyances of dates this way), and then get the new date back out of it.

This code is not mine, but your question was nice and thought I'ld see an answer for myself too:

<script language="JavaScript">

<!--

   Time      = new Date();



   day       = 27;

   month     = 2;

   year      = 1996;



   Time.setDate (day);

   Time.setMonth(month-1);

   Time.setYear (year);



   oldDate   = Time.getTime();

   daysToAdd = 5;



   newDate   = oldDate + (daysToAdd*24*60*60*1000);

   Time.setTime(newDate);

//-->

</script>

He's using getTime() then converting the days to millseconds.

Hope that helps.

hey... thanks a lot...
