JavaScript - Converting Number To Date Format
I'm not too sure how to approach this but I have a date input that uses a jQuery pop-up for a calendar, and enters the date in a format d MMM yy (1 Jan 11).
Not everyone wants to be clicking and choosing the date from the calendar but to be entering it just as a number such as 0101, 010111 or 01012011 which can be faster. This would then need to be converted to the d MMM yy format as per the jQuery pop-up when they exit the input box. So really only if it's a number format it needs to look at the number of digits... and does the conversion. Has anyone done something like this before? Or is there a link to how I could go about achieving this? Many thanks David Similar TutorialsHi, I need to add days to a date in javascript, My requirement is as follows: Date is coming from a textbox. eg:- 26/07/2010 days from this statement var day1=document.getElementById('<%=HiddenDate.ClientID %>').value; an eg:- if the date is 28/01/2012 and days Needed to be added=5 the added date should be 02/02/2012. Can anybody help me? Thanks Jamuna I have an Adobe pdf fill-able form field that requires a distance computation using javascript. One of the values needed in the computation is in the format of a string as feet - inches (for example: 4'-10"). I need to convert this into a number to use to complete a computation. Does anyone have a code snippet or any ideas on how to do this. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Is there a built in function to format a number to 2 decimal places and to add commas like below. 2,222.33 30,033.98 1,222,345,99 Hi Guys, I'm looking for a way to convert a number in to currency format so 10000000 is 10,000,000 etc... i found this code and was hoping someone could advise how to tweak it so that it works automatically without having to hit a button i.e. I will be passing a value dynamically to the code and want it evaluated without the user clicking anything if the code was like var="10000000" <-the number I dynamically pass in and output 10,000,000 You probably guessed Javascript aint my forte.

I am still learning how to properly implement them. Any asistance with the following situation would be greatly appreciated and help with my learning as I try to reverse engineer the logic. I have looked around the web and this forum with little success. If the situation below is too complicated, I would really appreciate even a shove in the right direction regarding the logic. ----------------- How could I show a preset counter which counts up from a preset, beginning number toward a preset, end number? I imagine the increment and speed is set be the difference between the two numbers and a timeframe. Assumptions: I would rather not set the increment but edit the end number to show a steady increase. As I update that number, the increment adapts dynamically. I would want the number/script to be useful, so it should not refresh to the beginning number on each page load (i.e. num=0). When a visitor comes to the page, it must seem like the counter has been steadily been increasing in their absence. Coke or Pesi did something similar one time regarding cans sold to date (doubt it was plugged into a DB somewhere but rather based on a steady sales figure) and it was pretty cool. All the best! Alright so I've been searching around trying to figure out how to change the date format, the way I have seen it the most is like Code: var d=new Date(); var datestring=d.getdate + d.getMonth + d.get Year I am new to javascript and this is the first script I have written on my own so this is what it does. It is supposed to display the date that a shipment should arrive on with 2 day shipping through ups so it skips weekends. It displays the date after either adding 2 days or more depending on the day of the week. But the way the date is formatted really needs to be changed. So if any one can suggest maybe how to tie in the above code with mine that would be great. Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var d=new Date(); var day=d.getDay(); if (day <= 3){ d.setDate (d.getDate() + 2); } else if (day == 4) { d.setDate (d.getDate() + 4) } else if (day == 5){ d.setDate (d.getDate() + 4); } else if (day == 6) { d.setDate (d.getDate() + 3); } document.write("Your card should arrive on " + d); </script> I've been trying to change the way a date appears. The JS gives the date Easter will fall in a particular year. That works but the format that appears is this; Sun Apr 24 00:00:00 EDT 2011 I'm trying to get it to read like this: Sunday, April 24, 2011 I've been racking my brain all morning and can't seem to get it right. Very limited experience in JS doesn't help either. Could somebody take a look and see where I messed up. Thanks in advance. George Code: easterYear = 2011; var a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, k, l, m, easterMonth, easterDate; a = parseInt(easterYear % 19); b = parseInt(easterYear / 100); c = parseInt(easterYear % 100); d = parseInt(b / 4); e = parseInt(b % 4); f = parseInt((b + 8) / 25); g = parseInt((b - f + 1) / 3); h = parseInt((19 * a + b - d - g + 15) % 30); i = parseInt(c / 4); k = parseInt(c % 4); l = parseInt((32 + 2 * e + 2 * i - h - k) % 7); m = parseInt((a + 11 * h + 22 * l) / 451); easterMonth = parseInt((h + l - 7 * m + 114) / 31); easterDate = parseInt(((h + l - 7 * m + 114) % 31) + 1); var dayName = new Array ("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday", "Thursday","Friday","Saturday"); var monthName=new Array ("January","February","March","April","May", "June","July","August","September","October", "November","December"); var now = new Date(); var gplMonth = monthName[easterMonth-1]; var gplDay = dayName[0]; //gplDay ; var gplDate = new Date(); var gplDt = gplDate.getDate(); document.write(new Date(easterYear , easterMonth - 1, easterDate) ); // Original line document.write('<br />' ) document.write( gplDay + ", " + gplMonth + " " + easterDate + ", " + easterYear) document.write('<br />' ) document.write(gplMonth + " " + easterDate ) document.write('<br />' ) Hello. I have got this kind of array: Code: $days = array('Monday' => '2012-03-19', 'Tuesday' => '2012-03-20' ); I'm iterating like this: Code: foreach($days as $key => $value){ echo '<a href="javascipt:confirmDelete('.$value.');">Delete</a>'; } Script: Code: function confirmDelete(day) { if (confirm('Delete?')) { window.location.href = 'processDay.php?action=delete&day=' + day ; } } While i hover over the link with coursor, it show it good: javascript:confirmDelete(2012-03-19), but when I submit the delete confirmation, i get &day=1987. Where is the problem? Hello! First of all, sorry my bad english. (and javascripting skills...) I have a problem with date formatting! My code is supposed to get the day of the week from date format like dd.mm.yyyy (01.01.2010, 31.12.2010) but it only works if date format is like "28 December, 2000". Code is he Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function getTheDay(aText) { myDays=["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday"] myDate=new Date(eval('"'+aText.value+'"')) document.form1.textDay.value=myDays[myDate.getDay()] } </script> <form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" action="" enctype="text/plain"> <input type="text" name="textDate" id="textDate" value="" size="25" onchange="getTheDay(this.form.textDate)" /> <br /> <input type="text" name="textDay" size="25" maxlength="25" /> </form> Original code: http://www.trans4mind.com/personal_d...ript/time2.htm Can anyone help me? I have tried everything what i have find from google... Thanks to you all who help me with this! -Roosterr Hi All, I have a snippet of Javascript that changes date format from yyyy/mm/dd to dd/mm/yyyy: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var myString = "[[date]]"; var mySplitResult = myString.split("-");document.write(mySplitResult[2] + "/" + mySplitResult[1] + "/" + mySplitResult[0] ); </script> However, I want it to return the format as dd/mm/yy (the last two number of the year rather than the full four). Is this possible to do? Thanks, Neil Hello, I am using jQuery to set a cookie and the expiration date is: Code: date.setTime(date.getTime() + (options.expires * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)); which lasts for 1 day, but I would like the cookie to not expire for a long time, is this possible? I know google has one that like expires in 2035 or something but I would like this on to last long. What should I do? Hello, I would like to learn if there is way to change a different format every time the user want as example is Code: London 12:00:33 - Friday 18/03/2011 Thanks I have a calendar and when selecting the date the date format inserted to text box is in the format ' 10/10/2010'.

Code: function calander(TheDay) { var theDate = new Date(); var day = new theDate.getDay(); var month = new theDate.getMonth(); var year = new theDate.getFullYear(); if (month == 0) {month = "Jan";}if (month == 1) { month = "Feb"; } if (month == 2) { month = "March"; }if (month == 3) { month = "April"; } if (month == 4) { month = "May"; }if (month == 5) { month = "June"; } if (month == 6) { month = "July"; }if (month == 7) { month = "Aug"; } if (month == 8) { month = "Sept"; }if (month == 9) { month = "Oct"; } if (month == 10) { month = "Nov"; }if (month == 11) { month = "Dec"; } TheDay.value = day + "-" + month + "-" + year; } Hi Chaps, I have a Javascript ActiveX function that exports the contents of an HTML table into MS Excel. The script works fine, however, some of the dates have changed from dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy. I do not know why this is happening, especially as it's only to a few. Here is the code: Code: <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function ExportToExcel() { input_box=confirm("Export to Microsoft Excel?"); if (input_box==true) { var xlApp = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application"); // Silent-mode: xlApp.Visible = true; xlApp.DisplayAlerts = false; var xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add(); xlBook.worksheets("Sheet1").activate; var XlSheet = xlBook.activeSheet; XlSheet.Name="Report"; // Store the sheet header names in an array var rows = tblreport_work.getElementsByTagName("tr"); var columns = tblreport_work.getElementsByTagName("th"); var data = tblreport_work.getElementsByTagName("td"); // Set Excel Column Headers and formatting from array for(i=0;i<columns.length;i++){ XlSheet.cells(1).value= "Projects - Open"; XlSheet.cells(3,i+1).value= columns[i].innerText; //XlSheetHeader[i]; XlSheet.cells(3,i+1).font.color="6"; XlSheet.cells(3,i+1).font.bold="true"; XlSheet.cells(3,i+1).interior.colorindex="37"; XlSheet.Range("B1:F1000").HorizontalAlignment = -4108; XlSheet.Range("H1:H1000").HorizontalAlignment = -4108; XlSheet.Range("J1:J1000").HorizontalAlignment = -4108; } //run over the dynamic result table and pull out the values and insert into corresponding Excel cells var d = 0; for (r=4;r<rows.length+3;r++) { // start at row 2 as we've added in headers - so also add in another row! for (c=1;c<columns.length+1;c++) { XlSheet.cells(r,c).value = data[d].innerText; d = d + 1; } } //autofit the columns XlSheet.columns.autofit; // Make visible: xlApp.visible = true; xlApp.DisplayAlerts = true; CollectGarbage(); //xlApp.Quit(); } } </script> Date Columns: F,G,I If anyone has some ideas on how to correct this, I'd be most grateful! I'm trying to find a way to display a future date in short format (as an expiration date) with Javascript. I've figured out how to do it with long format, but have no idea how to convert it and I'm not great with Javascript. Here is code that I found on another forum and modified: Code: <!doctype html> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <!doctype html> <head> <title>Expires</title> </head> <body> <script> var myDelayInDays=6, myDate=new Date(); myDate.setDate(myDate.getDate()+myDelayInDays); document.write('Expires: ' + myDate.toLocaleDateString()); </script> </body> </html> </body> </html> Which displays: "Expires: Monday, May 21, 2012" I would like it to display: "Expires: 05/21/2012" Can anyone help?! I am working on an HTML project that displays a field with a number in the field by each day. What it does is start at 0 on day one. Each day it adds a 1 to the field. Day 2, the field would say 1, then day 3 would say 2, and so on. I am not sure how to approach this. This is also displayed in an HTML format. I want to to be automatic and change as the date changes. I will also need a way to reset it back to zero if possible.
