Show date only...?

[Chris P. Bacon]

Hey,

I got this script on my website: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex6/clock2.htm I have the script that shows both time and date, but I want it to ONLY show date. Anyone know what to add/remove from the script to do this? Thanks!

<script type="text/javascript">
var dt = new Date();
var d  = dt.getDate();
var day = (d < 10) ? '0' + d : d;
var m = dt.getMonth() + 1;
var month = (m < 10) ? '0' + m : m;
var yy = dt.getYear();
var year = (yy < 1000) ? yy + 1900 : yy;
document.write(day + "-" + month + "-" + year);
</script>

If you want to show only the current date then the above code will do the job.

I wonder why you are using a lengthy code just to show date

Thanks, but I need it to appear like: Tuesday, 31st October. I use that script because it loads fast, and shows the date how I want it, I just dont want the time. If anyone knows another script that shows the date like above, please link to it, that would be great.

<script>

var mydate=new Date()
var year=mydate.getYear()
if (year < 1000)
year+=1900
var day=mydate.getDay()
var month=mydate.getMonth()
var daym=mydate.getDate()
if (daym<10)
daym="0"+daym
var dayarray=new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday")
var montharray=new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December")
document.write("<small><font color='000000' face='Arial'><b>"+dayarray[day]+", "+montharray[month]+" "+daym+"</b></font></small>")

</script>

there you go.

This should serve you:

<script type="text/javascript">
var DAYS = [
  "Sunday",
  "Monday",
  "Tuesday",
  "Wednesday",
  "Thursday",
  "Friday",
  "Saturday"
],
  MONTHS = [
    "January",
    "February",
    "March",
    "April",
    "May",
    "June",
    "July",
    "August",
    "September",
    "October",
    "November",
    "December"
  ],
  SUFFIXES = {
    1 : "st",
    2 : "nd",
    3 : "rd",
    21 : "st",
    22 : "nd",
    23 : "rd", 
    31 : "st",
    'default' : "th"
  },
  d = new Date();

document.write(DAYS[d.getDay()] + ", " + d.getDate() + (SUFFIXES[d.getDate()] || SUFFIXES['default']) + MONTHS[d.getMonth()]);
</script>

<small><font color='000000' face='Arial'><b>

Ouch. Never use presentational HTML. Also, all colours in HTML notation must be prefixed with a hash sign (#).

var year=mydate.getYear()
if (year < 1000)
year+=1900

Instead, try .getFullYear().

<script>

The type attribute is required.
