Undefined Variable

[timmbo]

Hi All,

I'm attempting to retrieve month name from getMonths. My procedure enters getMoths() OK but my alert msg states my variables are undefined. Once I have month name, I need to pass it to my webpage. If anyone knows of an easier way of doing this, I'm interested for any suggestions.

Any help would be appreciated...

JavaScript code follows:

function setMonths(_form) {

var currDate = new Date();
var twoPriorMonths = currDate.getMonth()-1;
var myTwoMonths = getMonths(twoPriorMonths);
alert("myTwoMonths... " + myTwoMonths);
alert("twoPriorMonths... " + myTwoMonths);
}

function getMonths(_month) {

alert("In getMonths..."

switch(_month) {
case("1&quot:
var myMonth = "January";
break;
case("2&quot:
var myMonth = "February";
break;
case("3&quot:
var myMonth = "March";
break;
case("4&quot:
var myMonth = "April";
break;
case("5&quot:
var myMonth = "May";
break;
case("6&quot:
alert("HERE 1"
var myMonth = "June";
alert("In June... " + myMonth);
break;
case("7&quot:
var myMonth = "July";
break;
case("8&quot:
var myMonth = "August";
break;
case("9&quot:
var myMonth = "September";
break;
case("10&quot:
var myMonth = "October";
break;
case("11&quot:
var myMonth = "November";
break;
case("12&quot:
var myMonth = "December";
break;
}
}

Change each case as such:

case("1"):

to

case 1:

Javascript sees "1" as a string (possibly with a value equal to the unicode value of the character "1&quot. However, 1 (without the quotes) is 1.

'hope this helps.

use an array:

var tMonth = new Array("January", "February",....);
var currDate = new Date();
var twoPriorMonths = currDate.getMonth()-1;
var myTwoMonths = tMonth[twoPriorMonths];
