VBScript to Javascript

[MONFU]

Dear All,

I have done some code in VBScript so that if the date is displayed in the 7/7/2002, or 8/8/2002 format for example, I change that in 07/07/2002 and 08/08/2002 respectively. This is so that I can do some validation on the fields. Now I wish to change the code that I will paste here into a Javascript function so that I can use it in more Asp's just by calling this function. Can you please tell me how I can do that since I am a newbie in Javascript.

Here is the VBScript code:-

------------------------------------------------------
DBDate = rs("newsDate&quot

slash = Instr(DBdate, "/&quot
strMonth = mid(DBdate, 1, slash-1)
rest = mid(DBdate, slash+1, len(date))

slash2 = Instr(rest, "/&quot
strDay = mid(rest, 1, slash2-1)
strYear = mid(rest, slash2+1, len(rest))

if strMonth < 10 then
strMonth = &quot;0&quot; & strMonth
end if

if strDay < 10 then
strDay = &quot;0&quot; & strDay
end if

DBDateFormat = strMonth & &quot;/&quot; & strday & &quot;/&quot; & strYear

-------------------------------------------------------

THanks for your help!

Direct translation:

var slash = DBdate.indexOf(&quot;/&quot;
var strMonth = DBdate.substr(0, slash);
var rest = DBdate.substr(slash+1);

var slash2 = rest.indexOf(&quot;/&quot;
var strDay = rest.substr(0, slash2);
var strYear = rest.substr(slash2+1);

if (strMonth < 10) strMonth = &quot;0&quot; + strMonth

if (strDay < 10) strDay = &quot;0&quot; + strDay

DBDateFormat = strMonth + &quot;/&quot; + strday + &quot;/&quot; + strYear;
