JavaScript - Get Date
Hi,
i need to get the current date into some format so that it doesn't change? here i have some code: Code: function printTime(){ var d=new Date(); var utc = d.toUTCString(); alert(utc); } for example this show for me: Mon, 26 Dec 2011 21:55:43 GMT I would like to get this information again, lets say 5 minutes later - but i want the information to still read Mon, 26 Dec 2011 21:55:43 GMT not Mon, 26 Dec 2011 22:00:43 GMT for example Any help greatly appreciated 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.

Hello, I really need your help with one. How can I use the following code below to save the date from my popup window datepicker back into a var and relay it back onto its parent page? I can't seem to figure this out: Code: <html> <head> <script> function open_cal() { var str_html = "" + "<!DOCTYPE html>\n" + "<html lang=\"en\">\n" + "<head>\n" + "<meta charset=\"utf-8\">\n" + "<title>CALENDAR</title>\n" + "<link href=\"jq/jquery-ui.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\">\n" + "<script src=\"jq/jquery.min.js\" type=\"text/javascript\"></" + "script>\n" + "<script src=\"jq/jquery-ui.min.js\" type=\"text/javascript\"></" + "script>\n" + "<script src=\"jq/datepicker.js\" type=\"text/javascript\"></" + "script>\n" + "</head>\n" + "<body>\n" + "<div id=\"text\" style=\"font: bold 10pt Tahoma\">Enter Approval Date:</div>\n" + "<div id=\"datepicker\"></div>\n" + "</body>\n" + "</html>" var j = window.open("","CALENDAR","width=200,height=250,status=no,resizable=yes,top=200,left=200") j.opener = self; j.document.write(str_html); } </script> </head> <body> <input onclick="open_cal()" type="button" value="Open" name="B1"> </body> </html> Datepicker.js: Code: $(function() { $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy', onSelect: function(dateText, inst) { alert(dateText) window.close() } }) }); Any help with this is greatly and mostly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Cheers, J 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? hello there this is in vb script. but i dont where to post it. can any one hlep me out plzz I need to check if the date entered by user is within 5th date from current date.

Hi folks, i am trying to generate a dynamic datefield with date mask "mm/dd/yyyy" and trying to insert it into Oracle db ...i still got the error ORA invalid month ehich means the date filed is not recognized as date: below is what i am doing : newStartDate = document.createElement( 'INPUT' ); newStartDate.setAttribute('type','Date'); newStartDate.setAttribute('id1','id'+ elementid+elementrow); newStartDate.setAttribute('name','StartDateName'+ elementid+elementrow); newStartDate.size=8; newStartDate.style.backgroundColor= bgc; any help thanks ?? Also i want to add a datepicke to this textbox..how it is posible / other option is to use Jquery datepicker but could not know how to impement it thanks again I am delving into the coding world and while I understand the basic principle of cookies, conditional statements, arrays, etc... 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! Hi guys, I hope to seek your help about the date function. I had the date store in my database under the type of timestamp. Now i wish to retrieve out the date store on my database and match it with today date however, I am facing problem with it. I know that I had to create a variable for it, however, after trying for many time, it still show me error.

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!! Hi, Got input boxes for begin and end dates - using JQuery for date picker calendar for each. Need to validate 2 things - 1 is that end date is => than begin date, 2 is that user enters date into begin date rather than just numbers. I got date picker JQuery from another office where I work and can not change their parameters or code. So my input boxes allow for date picker selection or manual data entry. The end date input box can be empty if user only inputting one day for begin date and not a range. Also have 3 more begin/end date input box sets which are not visible until user clicks "Add Row" button - one click, one set added. Want to insure if user added row and input date then removed row (clicked "Remove Row" button) that the data entered is removed and not inserted into database. Add & remove rows: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var showing = 0; function showAnother() { if ( showing <= 3 ) { ++showing; document.getElementById("row"+showing).style.display =""; } if ( showing == 3) { alert("Maximum number of rows allowed."); } } </script> <script type="text/javascript"> function removeRow() { if ( showing >= 0 ) { document.getElementById("row"+showing).style.display ="none"; showing--; } if ( showing == 0 ) { return true; } } </script> Begin & end date input boxes: Code: <td><input style="width: 70px" type="text" id="startdate1" name="startdate1" /></td> <td><input name="stopdate1" style="width: 70px" type="text" id="stopdate1"/></td> Other 3 begin & end date input boxes same with names increased by one digit - startdate2/stopdate2, and so on to 4. Thanks, John Hello, and thanks for a great forum I have downloaded a script called Display time of last visit. Since I live in Norway, so the date is on the wrong line. It's November 18, but I want the date to be before the month if ya know what I mean. Is there anyone out there who can be so kind and help me change the script so that it is correct? I've tried, but ..... this is what it says now: Thursday, November 18, 2010 09:59:28 AM I want it to be (is it is possibe to remove AM ?)
