Date Increment

[SilverStray]

Hi,

I have a page that will always get the next day and display it on screen. My problem is that, how do I increment a date to 1 calendar day? The following script of mine produces a date like 2/32/2005 if the current date is 1/31/2005, which is wrong.

var time=new Date();
var lmonth=time.getMonth()+1;
var date=time.getDate()+1;
var year=time.getYear();

defDate = lmonth + '/' + date + '/' + year;

Hope you can help.

Thanks in advance!

var time = new Date();
var tomorrow = time.setDate(time.getDate() + 1);
alert (tomorrow);

var time=new Date();
time.setTime(time.getTime() + 86400000);

will set time to be the current day plus the number of milliseconds that make up one day ... i.e. forward one day.

sorry, mine was silly, should just be:

var time = new Date();
time.setDate(time.getDate() + 1);
alert(time);

Not sure why you would try to re-invent the wheel.

Lack of trust, paranoia, call it what you will. The behaviour for setDate that you advocate works perfectly well, but is not specified in JavaScript up to 1.3. The behaviour for getTime is forcing to all eras of JS. Perhaps I'm just old.

haha, not old.
any browsers not using later versions of js should be drawn and quartered.
