**refhat** · 05-12-2010 11:10 AM

I am trying to format a date as say(May 12 2010) But My output is undefined 12 2010.

here is my code, Can you help me know where I am going wrong here:

Code:

<html>

<head>

<title>exercise 1</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
var dt = new Date();
var m_names =new Array{"January", "Feberuary", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"};
var month = dt.getMonth()+1;
var day = dt.getDate();
var year = dt.getFullYear();
//dateFormat(dt, "mmm, dS, yyyy");
document.write(m_names[month] +"/" +day +"/" +year);

</script>
</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>

Thanks

You created the array incorrectly, and january is month[0],don't add 1 to getMonth().

Code:

var dt = new Date();
var m_names =["January", "Feberuary", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", 
"August", "September", "October", "November", "December"];
var month = dt.getMonth();
var day = dt.getDate();
var year = dt.getFullYear();

document.write(m_names[month] +" " +day +", " +year);

/* returned value: (String)
May 12, 2010
*/

Thanks for the help. I should have wrapped array objects within () rather {}
