Help with date functions

nooby101

I would appreciate very much if someone could help me figure out what I am doing wrong. I have checked the code over and over and still can't figure out why it won't write to the web page. Perhaps an outside eye could help. Here goes...not sure which tags to use for .js so forgive me if I just cut/paste.

Here's my js file:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 function XmasDays(thisDate) {

   var XMYear=thisDate.getFullYear();

   var XMDay=new Date("December, 25, 2005");

   XMDay.setFullYear(XMYear);

   var dayTotal=(XMDay-thisDate)/(1000*60*60*24);

   dayTotal=Math.round(dayTotal);

   return dayTotal;

} 
 
function showDate(thisDate){

    var thisWDay=thisDate.getDay();

    var thisDay=thisDate.getDate();

    var thisMonth=thisDate.getMonth();

    var thisYear=thisDate.getFullYear();

    var monthName=new Array(12);

    monthName[0]="January";

    monthName[1]="February";

    monthName[2]="March";

    monthName[3]="April";

    monthName[4]="May";

    monthName[5]="June";

    monthName[6]="July";

    monthName[7]="August";

    monthName[8]="September";

    monthName[9]="October";

    monthName[10]="November";

    monthName[11]="December";

    var wdayName=new Array(7);

    wdayName[0]="Sunday";

    wdayName[1]="Monday";

    wdayName[2]="Tuesday";

    wdayName[3]="Wednesday";

    wdayName[4]="Thursday";

    wdayName[5]="Friday";

    wdayName[6]="Saturday";
 
    dateString="weekday, month day, year";

    return (wdayName[thisWDay]+","monthName[thisMonth]+","+thisYear);

}
 
Here's the embedded scripts:

<td id="daycell">

<script type="text/javascript">

    <!--Hide from non-JavaScript Browsers
 
    var today = new Date("Mon, Dec 24, 2008");

    var niceDate = showDate(today);

    var daysLeft = XmasDays(today);

    document.write(niceDate+"< /br>");
 
        if (daysLeft > 1) { 

        document.write("Only "+ daysLeft+"days until Christmas");

        }else if( daysLeft==1){

        document.write("Last day for Christmas Shopping")

        }else{

        document.write("Happy Holidays from North Pole Novelties");        

        }
 
//Stop hiding-->

</script>

here's my link:
[HTML]<title>North Pole Novelties</title>
<link href="styles2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="library2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>[/HTML]

Is the embedded script in the body?

Hi ,

ur code is perfectly right but the wrong is in the showDate(thisdate) function

the wrong is simple syntax error ie

return (wdayName[thisWDay]+"," + monthName[thisMonth]+","+thisYear);

Place the bold one its enough
