[RESOLVED] Javascript: Adding Month To Current Date

[chris.cavage]

Hello!

Here's the code I am using to add 6 months to today's current date.

It uses jQuery also. When the "6months" checkbox is checked, I want to have 6 months added to the current date and then insert it into the "Date" textbox.

[CODE]
$("#6months").click(function(){
if ($("#6months").is(":checked"))
{
var d = new Date();
d.setMonth(d.getMonth()+7);

$("#Date").val(d.getFullYear()+"-"+(d.getMonth())+"-"+d.getDate());
}});
[/CODE

Because today's date is: 2012-06-22, the date that appears in the Date textbox is this:

2013-0-22

Hmmm... and, of course, I want it to be:

2012-12-22

Any idea what the '0' is all about or how to correct it?

Thanks!

Try using this Date library. It's very flexible and easy to use: http://code.google.com/p/datejs/

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I was messing around with that library. I like it a lot.

It was giving me the same problem though.

I figured out how to solve it actually with/without your date library:

d.setMonth(d.getMonth()+6);
   				 
	    	$("#Date").val(d.getFullYear()+"-"+(d.getMonth()+1)+"-"+d.getDate());
       		}});

That seems to be working just fine now.

The link that I have provided to has lots of samples on the usage.

Here's the code using that library:

$("#6months").click(function(){ 
  if ($("#6months").is(":checked"))
  {
      var newDate = Date.today().addMonths(6).toString('yyyy-MM-dd');
      $('#Date').val(newDate);
  }
});

Assuming you have downloaded and included the date.js library.

Thanks. I did reference the script and used it, but for some reason I got the same issue. I can also use your suggested code above - as I see that works just fine. Thanks a lot!
