How to format date like Day, Month date, Year time

[vertigo262]

this one should be pretty simple. All I want to do is formatdate in this format.

function getRecordInfo(oLink, iIndex) {
 
                var Subject = GridBulletins.Rows[iIndex].Cells[0].Value;
                var Bulletin = GridBulletins.Rows[iIndex].Cells[1].Value;
                var DateStamp = GridBulletins.Rows[iIndex].Cells[2].Value;
 
 
 
 var sNewHtml = "<div style='text-align: left; padding: 3px;'>";
                 sNewHtml += "<b>Subject</b> " + Subject + "<br><br>";
                 sNewHtml += "<b>Bulletin</b> " + Bulletin + "<br><br>";
                 sNewHtml += "<b>Date</b> " + DateStamp + "";
 
                 return sNewHtml;
            }

how does DateStamp look like at the moment?

[vertigo262]

like this

Date: 10/19/2010 1:49:47 PM

you might create a javascript Date object from that like:

var jsDate = new Date('10/19/2010 1:49:47 PM');

and then use the Date's methods to create the desired output. You could even use RegExp or String-Methods to parse your date-string and modify it ...

if you really want to display full day/month-names then you will probably have to create some mappings where 'Tue' maps to 'tuesday' or 'Oct' to 'October' or similar mappings - depending on the method you would choose to process the data.
