JavaScript - Webpage Date?
Hi,
I'd like to insert a date on a webpage in the following format: Monday, May 10, 2010 However, I want to be able to set the date 6 days before the current date. So, if today's date is Monday, May 10, 2010, I want it to instead display the following: Tuesday, May 4, 2010 Can someone please provide me the javascript and html coding to be able to do this? I'd seriously appreciate it. Thanks much in advance!! Similar TutorialsNot sure if this is possible in javascript: I'm looking for two different dates (bill date and due date) on an invoice that are captured by OCR. If one of them exists, but the other does not, I want the empty field to be 14 days before (or after) the other. For example: if the bill date is 7/27/2010 and the due date was not captured, I want to set the due date as 8/10/2010 (14 days after the bill date). If the due date was captured as 8/10/2010, but the due date is blank, I want to assign the bill date as 7/27/2010 (14 days before the due date). if both dates have values, do nothing. Thanks. Hi, 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 Hi, I've inherited a Form which calculates a future date based on a calculation and then inserts today's date and the future date into a database. The day part of the date is formatted as a number. This is fine, but up to 9 the numbers display in single figures with no leading zeros. I want them to display leading zeros (e.g. 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11... 30, 31) So; 1/12/2010 is NOT wanted 01/12/2010 IS wanted The inherited code originally set the Month names as "Jan", "Feb" etc, and it was easy to kludge these to 01, 02... 12, but I suspect there's a more elgant solution to this as well, this bit of the code works so it's not as vital to neaten this but my database needs dd/mm/yyyy format (it's a third party email program). Code: </script> <script type="text/javascript"> var todaysDate = new Date(); function updateExpiryDate(){ var weeklyMileage = document.getElementById('AvWeeklyMileage').value; var expiryDate; var weeks = 0; var expiryDateString = ''; if (!isNaN(parseInt(weeklyMileage))){ weeks = 700/weeklyMileage; expiryDate = new Date(todaysDate.getTime() + (1000 * 3600 * 24 * 7 * weeks)); var expiryDateString = expiryDate.getDate() + '/' + getMonthString(expiryDate.getMonth()+1) + '/' + expiryDate.getFullYear(); document.getElementById('expiryDate').innerHTML = expiryDateString; document.getElementById('ShoeExpiryDate').value = expiryDateString; } else { document.getElementById('ShoeExpiryDate').value = ''; document.getElementById('expiryDate').innerHTML = 'Please enter a valid weekly average mileage' } } function getMonthString(monthNumber){ var monthString = ""; switch(monthNumber){ case 1: monthString = "01"; break; case 2: monthString = "02"; break; case 3: monthString = "03"; break; case 4: monthString = "04"; break; case 5: monthString = "05"; break; case 6: monthString = "06"; break; case 7: monthString = "07"; break; case 8: monthString = "08"; break; case 9: monthString = "09"; break; case 10: monthString = "10"; break; case 11: monthString = "11"; break; case 12: monthString = "12"; break; default: // do nothing; } return monthString; } function setTodaysDate(){ var todaysDateString = todaysDate.getDate() + '/' + getMonthString(todaysDate.getMonth()+1) + '/' + todaysDate.getFullYear(); document.getElementById('todaysDate').innerHTML =todaysDateString; document.getElementById('DateOfPurchase').value = todaysDateString; } Can someone point me in the right direction please? I have a drop down menu where people can select a month, day and year. Based on their selection, I want to show them an image. If their selection is >= July 26, 2010 but <= July 25, 2011, show the red image; If their selection is >= July 26, 2011 but <= July 25, 2012, show the white image; If their selection is >= July 26, 2012 but <= July 25, 2013, show the blue image; If their selection is >= July 26, 2013 but <= July 25, 2014, show the yellow image; I don't know how to compare a selected date to a range of dates like this.

Something like javascript: document.getelement? I maintain a website for a small local restaurant. I do this with FrontPage so I know very little coding. I have an upload manager so the owner can remotely upload a txt or doc file of daily specials to a folder on the server. I would like to put a java script into one of the web pages that would open and display this file on page load. Is that possible and can someone help with the code, Thanks I went to the PHP section of this site and posted this same question, but someone told me it's a javascript question. I'm trying to carry a string from one webpage to another. The user inputs some data on page 1, the info gets tested for certain elements, then gets sent to page 2. The problem is the strings aren't transferring and I don't know how to use sessions to transfer them. I need recipeNameEl, ingredientsEl, and descriptionsEl to be stored to a string and then transferred to the page the form's action="" attribute points to. How can I accomplish this? Code: <script> function checkFields() { var recipeNameEl = document.getElementById( 'recipeName' ); var ingredientsEl = document.getElementById( 'ingredients' ); var descriptionEl = document.getElementById( 'description' ); var helperMsg1 = 'You have not filled in all required fields.'; var helperMsg2 = 'I thought I said no measurements! (No Numbers)'; return notEmpty( recipeNameEl, ingredientsEl, descriptionEl, helperMsg1, helperMsg2 ); } </script> <script type="text/javascript"> function notEmpty( recipeNameEl, ingredientsEl, descriptionEl, helperMsg1, helperMsg2 ){ if(recipeNameEl.value.length == 0){ alert(helperMsg1); recipeNameEl.focus(); return false;} if(ingredientsEl.value.length == 0){ alert(helperMsg1); ingredientsEl.focus(); return false;} if(descriptionEl.value.length == 0){ alert(helperMsg1); descriptionEl.focus(); return false;} var alphaExp = /^[a-zA-Z]+$/; if(ingredientsEl.value.match(alphaExp)){ return true; }else{ alert(helperMsg2); ingredientsEl.focus(); return false;} return true; } </script> Complete and utter newb here, so I apologize in advance. I'm trying to create a widget for a website that will show the Recent Comments, but will limit what is shown to 1 comment per unique thread. The idea being that the popular threads don't drown out the unpopular threads in the widget. Alas, I do not know Javascript. I am, however, proficient in XSLT. So I mapped out a little transform to get (essentially) what I want, thus: Input: http://anamardoll.disqus.com/latest.rss XSLT: Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template name="RSS_Feed" match="rss"> <xsl:value-of select="'

Is there an easy way in Javascript to just invoke an XSLT on a webpage and display the results? I've read online that there is, but can find no examples that work for me. I do appreciate any help provided and thank you in advance! (Also, for background: This will be going into the Blogger HTML/Javascript Widget tool, so... yeah.) I am trying to write a javascript to open multiple websites in the same window for Internet Explorer. However I keep getting the website opening in a new window. Here is my code. Code: var url = [ "http://www.google.com", "http://www.yahoo.com", "http://www.msn.com" ]; var interval = 3000; var startTime = 0; for (i = 0; i < url.length; i++) { startTime = startTime + interval; setTimeout("openWindow("+i+")", startTime); } function openWindow(num) { window.open(url[num],'mywindow','width=800,height=600,menubar=yes,status=yes,location=yes,toolbar=yes,scrollbars=yes'); } So currently, this code behaves like this. Every 3 seconds, it opens up a new website. However this code I wrote opens google.com in a new window, then yahoo.com in a new window and so on. I want it to open all the websites in the same window. How do I achieve this? OK, I appologise in advance if this post is long, but I need this answer, as I'm at my wits end. So I have this code Code: function SizeSelect(){ if(document.getElementById("JarSize").value=="Small") document.getElementById("JarPrice").innerHTML="3.00" else if(document.getElementById("JarSize").value=="Medium") document.getElementById("JarPrice").innerHTML="5.00" else if(document.getElementById("JarSize").value=="Large") document.getElementById("JarPrice").innerHTML="7.00" } Which alters the value of JarPrice, based on which JarSize is selected. Which is the code below here. Code: <select id="JarSize" onchange="SizeSelect();"> <option value="Small" >Small</option> <option value="Medium">Medium</option> <option value="Large">Large</option> </select> <span class="price">$<span id="JarPrice">3.00</span></span></div> Now for the hard part. I need this piece of code Code: <a href="javascript:;" onclick="simpleCart.add('name=Mango and Papaya', 'price=5', 'quantity=1');" class="prod_buy">add to cart</a> to be flexible, so that what ever value JarPrice becomes, that 'price=5' becomes the same. Now, the first piece of code is in a seperate .js file to the other two parts, which sit inside a regular HTML page. As I said, I'm desperate, as this is the only part of my site that isn't working ATM And if you need more information about any part, please don't hesitate to ask, as I will be able to give as much info as I can. I'm trying getting one of my webpage XHTML 1.0 Strict. There is only one error left, namely: document type does not allow element "br" here at this line: Code: container.innerHTML = result.translation.replace(/mdw/g, '<br />'); Obviously this is part of my javascript coding, but it's where the validation goes wrong.
