The following code should do it for you.

var timeValue = "" + ((hours >12) ? hours -12 :hours)

+ minutes
timeValue += (hours >= 12) ? " P.M." : " A.M."
timerRunning = true;
mydate = new Date();
myday = mydate.getDay();
mymonth = mydate.getMonth();
myweekday= mydate.getDate();
weekday= myweekday;
myyear= mydate.getYear();
year = myyear
if(myday == 0)

Hey guys,
With dates I found that we could really simplify the code if we create a library to do all the work for us. Using prototype and arrays you can really make things go great for you!
// sample library code
Date.prototype.weekDayNames = ["Sunday","Monday", "Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"]
Date.prototype.getWeekDayName = function()
{
return this.weekDayNames[this.getDay()]
}
// sample code
var today = new Date()
document.write("Today is " + today.getWeekDayName())
Let me know what you guys think. Prototyping really brings your code to a new level and makes it much more readable too.
