I hope that you are writing it in Dutch, or that you get the spelling
independently checked.
In what way did the FAQ - see in references below - prove inadequate?
with (new Date()) PsoD = (getMonth()+1)*100 + getDate()
document.writeln(
PsoD>=1220 && PsoD<1225 ? "hanh" :
PsoD==1225 || PsoD==1226 ? "MC" :
PsoD==1231 ? "bcfwf" : "normal day"
)
For a longer list, note that the problem is similar to that solved in
Subject: Re: HELP - "On This Day" javascript code
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2003 13:56:06 +0000
Message-ID: <SisYUFI2j5r$EwtL@merlyn.demon.co.uk>
provided that the individual events do not span many days (then, that
form of data storage would be inefficient)
var List = {
D0704: 1,
D0705: 1,
D0423: 2 }
today = "D0423"
if (T=List[today]) alert(S[T])
where T is an array of legends in which entry zero is dummy("").
For large spans, noting that it may be useful to get an empty string
returned on a non-special day, use a data structure like
List = [
[1220, 'hanh'],
[1225, 'MC'],
[1227, ''],
[1231, 'bcfwf'] ]
and scan it to find the last entry for which the number has been
reached.
