Hi, nice script.
And what if I want the string representing the date in UTC?
Should I dupplicate the switches and use the getUTCxxx variants or is there a simple solution?
Thanks

Hi, I came across this post while searching for help with JavaScript. I have recently switched browsers from Opera to IE. Just recently I seem to have a issue with loading JavaScript. Every time I go on a website that needs Javascript, my computer doesn’t load and I get a “runtime error javascript.JSException: Unknown name”. I can’t seem to find out how to fix it. Any aid is very appreciated! Thanks

I guess this posting doesn't even have a code sample! Well anyway, it's supposed to be used ala: dt.formatDate("F j, Y, g:i a"); where dt is your date object. Keep in mind that this code does not help you get a date into an object, it can only help format a date once you have it.

FSfncWriteFieldHTML seems to be a product that creates a date selector control for your form. My little script merely formats dates, they are not related.

Hi Svend! I am trying to get code to input the specific date wit todays date in the Java script: FSfncWriteFieldHTML(“DateForm”,”ArrDate”,”None”,100,”FutureShockDateSelector/images/FSdateSelector/”,”EN”,”true”,”true”, “19/07,2008″)

I am fairly new to Java. Do I just add your script in the head of the page and then just enter “d/m,Y” in the other script? Can’t be that easy is it?

Great site by the way.
