JavaScript - Activex - Export Html To Excel - Date Format Problem

I have an application written in JS and using Activex.
this code work fine in IE7, IE8
but in IE9 it does not invoke the ActiveX put_EventInputString function
<script type="text/vbscript" language="vbscript" for="CLSID:XXXX" event="GetParameterValue(byval TheValue)">me.EventInputString = me.getVarValue(TheValue);</script>

any ideas?

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.

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 />' )

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>

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, 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

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?

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

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

Hello

I am trying to change the default date format within my date picker, but nothing I do seems to work.

This is the relevant Code:

Code:

$(function() {
	Date.format = 'yy-mm-dd';
	$('#popupDatepicker').datepick();
});
 

<p><b>Date Of Birth:</b><input type="text" name="dob" id="popupDatepicker"><br>

All I see is dd/mm/yy no matter what I change

I need it in a format suitable for MySQL

Thanks

I have a database script that returns dates in the following format:

yyyy-mm-dd

I have been using the following code to change this format 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 now want to display the date in text format, e.g. 01-08-2009 would be displayed as 01 August 2009.

Could anyone please let me know how I change the script to show this format?

Many thanks in advance,
Neil

So I want this function to return the date in the format: 4-Jan-2011. I feel like I have to make the variables strings or something but I can't figure it out, I'm kinda new to javascript.

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;
}

I have a calendar and when selecting the date the date format inserted to text box is in the format ' 10/10/2010'. This is not getting inserted into oracle database. Oracle accepts only the format '10-OCT-10' . So please help me to change the format of date that getting selected from calendar.

hello,

is there a date format for an existing date?

all I see is a var d = new Date();

but i need to format an existing date?

thanks!

I have this idea that I want to do basically a "state capture" of a web page through javascript.

Basically, a user will click a button, and the script will run, capturing all objects and their styles in a way that can be recreated later without referencing external CSS files and images.

The script could export HTML or JS, but obviously all images would have to be data urls and all styles would have to be inline/hard coded.

Does anyone know of a tool that do this or have any advice on where I would start? I'm thinking it would be very useful for a bug report submission on an application I'm working on.

Sure, the user can upload a screenshot, but I'm trying to save them the step (and basically have a screenshot on every bug report). JS cannot do an actual image capture, so I think a full dom export would be just as good.

Any ideas would be fantastic.

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?!
