Finding my birthday wasnt meant to be this hard ...

Jonnn · Jan 16, 2005

Ok guys, This script i made is trying to tell me i was born on a different day ... but the code seems perfect ...

it works if i was born in nearly any year besides 1987 ???

take a look

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>sample</title>

<script language="javascript">

var my_birthday 	= new Date("August 26, 1987"); 			
var a_year 		= 86400000 * 365;    
var eighteen_years 	= a_year * 18;					
var time_passed 	= my_birthday.getTime();				
var when_am_18 		= new Date(time_passed + eighteen_years);
	
alert("You are 18 on the date : " + when_am_18);						

</script>
</head>

<body>


</body>
</html>

Any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks !

Huh? Try this:

Code:

<script language="javascript">

var my_birthday = new Date("August 26, 1987");  
my_birthday.setYear( my_birthday.getFullYear() + 18 );
alert("You are 18 on the date : " + my_birthday);                        

</script>
