If statement script for date based var

[AhmedAA]

I am creating site about Islam and muslims (www.islammuslim.lv) and I want that on site would be daily praying times. They changes day from day so I need unique for every day. On internet there is some 2-3 muslim portals who offers javascript code and they send to your site prayer times, but they do not give enough options for making it fit in design.

So I am trying to create my self script in which I could wrote in those prayertimes.

As far as I understand I need something like this:
if:
var today = 14/03/2007
var today = 15/03/2007
var today = 16/03/2007
var today = 17/03/2007
etc

so if (or case) today = 14/03/2007 then display 04:33 06:43 12:33 15:34 18:24 20:24
so if (or case) today = 15/03/2007 then display 04:32 06:41 12:32 15:36 18:26 20:26
so if (or case) today = 16/03/2007 then display 04:30 06:40 12:32 15:38 18:28 20:28
so if (or case) today = 17/03/2007 then display 04:29 06:38 12:31 15:39 18:29 20:29

etc

So how it should be in Javascript code?

Welcome to TSDN.

How many dates are you going to have? Is it for the whole year?

You should read up on the Date object and the Array object.

Yes it is for whole year, but maybe I will put script for some 2 months and later change to next 2 months for keeping script smaller in size.

I read those links, but understood little.

Should I use this as trigger for my case?

var myDate=new Date()
myDate.setFullYear(2007,3,14)
myDate.setFullYear(2007,3,15)
myDate.setFullYear(2007,3,16)
myDate.setFullYear(2007,3,16)

???
Please, could You write it for me, if it is not comlicated.

As far as I understand, then I need script in which if today is like 15. march, then output is: 04:32 06:41 12:32 15:36 18:26 20:26
If today is 16.march then output is: 04:30 06:40 12:32 15:38 18:28 20:28

And so I would edit it for all year...

There are a number of ways you could do this. Obviously, there are more complicated ways which are a lot neater, but to keep it simple, just declare an array, with your values, e.g.

var prayingTimes = new Array();
prayingTimes["15032007"]="04:32 06:41 12:32 15:36 18:26 20:26 ";

and likewise for all other dates.

Then to access a particular date, just call:

var today = new Date();

which will give today's date. Then convert it to a string value and access the array:

document.write(prayingTimes[dateStr]);

Sorry, but I know so little that I can not make what You adviced. I tried to undeerstand by reading links, but it is too much for me.


But on another forum one man gave to me this script and it is working:

<script language="JavaScript">
var date = new Date();
var today = date.getFullYear() + '/' + date.getMonth() + '/' + date.getDate();
 
switch (today)
{
case '2007/2/15':
    document.write('04:33 06:43 12:33 15:34 18:24 20:24');
    break;
 
case '2007/2/16':
    document.write('04:33 06:43 12:33 15:34 18:24 20:24');
    break;
 
default:
 
}
 
</script>

Sorry for not using Your efferts.

That's ok, no problem. There are many alternatives. Thanks for posting your working solution.

Just one thing though, to avoid confusion, I think you should add one to the month. The "2" is actually March, so try:

var today = date.getFullYear() + '/' + (date.getMonth()+1) + '/' + date.getDate();

and then in your switch cases, you can put the 'real' date.

Of course, it will still work as it is, but this will make it easier if you debug later.

Well, I now that 0-11, so I will better keep it simple as it is. Some modification can create a confussion. Bet may be I will later think otherwise.

Thanks.
