Hi all, I have some problem with

[garfield11]

Hi all,

I have some problem with dates so can anyone please help.

Below r codes to convert eg. 15/2/02 --> 15th Feb 2002:

function convDate(QDate)
{
var dayNum=new Array("1st", "2nd", "3rd", "4th", "5th", "6th", "7th", "8th", "9th","10th", "11th", "12th", "13th", "14th", "15th", "16th", "17th", "18th", "19th", "20th", "21st", "22nd", "23rd", "24th", "25th", "26th", "27th", "28th", "29th", "30th","31st&quot
var monName=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec&quot

var strMainString= QDate.value; //date typed in 1st textbox

var year= strMainString.substring(6,10); //last four
var month= strMainString.substring(3,5); //middle two
var day= strMainString.substring(0,2); //first two

var test = new Date(year, month, day);

output=day+" " +monName[test.getMonth()-1]+ " " +year;
QDate.value=output;
}

But now e problem is:
when I entered a date - day beyond 10 (eg. 10th --> 31th) n month beyond 10 (eg. 10 --> 12 that's Oct --> Dec) can convert

whereas

when i entered a date - day before 10 (eg. 1st --> 9th) n month before 10 (eg. 1 --> 9 that's Jan --> Sep) got error.. undefined undefined

BUT

if i type 01/01/02 (put a "0" in front)- can convert

so can anybody tell me what's wrong?

Thanks!

it's due to the following code :

   var year= strMainString.substring(6,10); //last four
   var month= strMainString.substring(3,5); //middle two
   var day= strMainString.substring(0,2); //first two

If you enter for exemple "1/2/2002",
day will contain "1/",
month will contain "/2",
year will contain ... heuu something strange...

may be you can use the "split" function. Water is not bad as soon as it stays out human body ;-)

What Targol means is this:

<script>
function convDate(QDate)
{
var dayNum=new Array(&quot;1st&quot;, &quot;2nd&quot;, &quot;3rd&quot;, &quot;4th&quot;, &quot;5th&quot;, &quot;6th&quot;, &quot;7th&quot;, &quot;8th&quot;, &quot;9th&quot;,&quot;10th&quot;, &quot;11th&quot;, &quot;12th&quot;, &quot;13th&quot;, &quot;14th&quot;, &quot;15th&quot;, &quot;16th&quot;, &quot;17th&quot;, &quot;18th&quot;, &quot;19th&quot;, &quot;20th&quot;, &quot;21st&quot;, &quot;22nd&quot;, &quot;23rd&quot;, &quot;24th&quot;, &quot;25th&quot;, &quot;26th&quot;, &quot;27th&quot;, &quot;28th&quot;, &quot;29th&quot;, &quot;30th&quot;,&quot;31st&quot
var monName=new Array(&quot;Jan&quot;,&quot;Feb&quot;,&quot;Mar&quot;,&quot;Apr&quot;,&quot;May&quot;,&quot;Jun&quot;,&quot;Jul&quot;,&quot;Aug&quot;,&quot;Sep&quot;,&quot;Oct&quot;,&quot;Nov&quot;,&quot;Dec&quot

var arrDate = new Array();
arrDate = QDate.split(&quot;/&quot;

if(arrDate.length==3){
var test = new Date(parseInt(arrDate[2],10), parseInt(arrDate[1],10)-1, parseInt(arrDate[0],10));
}else{ // the datestring was not correct
return false;
}
if(test==&quot;NaN&quot{ //string could not be converted to a date
return false;
}
return dayNum[test.getDate()-1] + &quot; &quot; + monName[test.getMonth()] + &quot; &quot; + parseInt(arrDate[2],10)
}
alert(convDate(&quot;27/02/2002&quot)
alert(convDate(&quot;33/02/2002&quot)
alert(convDate(&quot;q3/02/2002&quot)
</script>

Or instead of an input box you use a popup calendar like thisone:

the calendar works only in IE but I have made a javascript version that works in mozilla and IE.

It's exaclty that, harmmeijer. Are you a medium ??? ;-) Water is not bad as soon as it stays out human body ;-)
