Ok, I admit it. I'm stupid, ok, now will you help me? (JAvascript question) - GoFuckYourself.com

Ok, so I got this JS online, and it works great as is, but then I needed to tweak it a little. So I added +1 to the day, and that worked. It added one day to the output. So I saved it nine times, because I need seperate instances of the date.

Online it was working beautifully. Then just now as the date turned, it went from march 31st, 2007 output as (03/31/2007) to (03/32/2007)

That's no good.

I don't know JS to save my life. Can anyone (smokey) look at this (smokey) and tell me what I did wrong? Or know of a way to fix it (smokey), anyone? (smokey)

var mydate=new Date()
var year=mydate.getYear()
if (year < 1000)
year+=1900
var day=mydate.getDay()
var month=mydate.getMonth()+1
if (month<10)
month="0"+month
var daym=mydate.getDate()+9
if (daym<10)
daym="0"+daym
document.write(""+month+"/"+daym+"/"+year+"")

basically I need a JS that will count days, increasing the day one day for nine days.

you can see where I added +9, that's supposed to take todays date and add 9 days to it. Thus, it should be reading as 04/01/2007, but instead it reads 03/32/2007

Ok fine. If Smokey doesn't want to help, anyone else can offer their help.

I honestly don't understand what exactly you're trying to do, but maybe this helps

Code:

var mydate=new Date()
var year=mydate.getYear()
if (year < 1000)
year+=1900
var day=mydate.getDay()

var daytemp=mydate.getDate()  // gets todays day
mydate.setDate(daytemp+9)     // adds 9 days and hopefully increments the month
var daym=mydate.getDate()     // gets new day

var month=mydate.getMonth()   // gets new month value, with 9 days added already
if (month<10)
month="0"+month

if (daym<10)
daym="0"+daym
document.write(""+month+"/"+daym+"/"+year+"")

I've not tested it, so it could be that there are some typos built in

And I'm sure there's a better solution to this than using the Date Class, there's for sure a Class that simply allows you to add a specific numer of days to a given date.

If you wanna test it with different dates you can also replace the first line with something like

Code:

var mydate=new Date(year, month, date) 

// year - the year minus 1900.
// month - the month between 0-11.
// date - the day of the month between 1-31.

Thanks I'll definitely give this a shot.

Thanks for breaking it down, that will help me tweak it if I need to.
