Ok, I know this isn''t a Rails problem, but if you could help me out
that''d be brill.
I''ve used JavaScript to create a new Date object containing a date of
my
choice...
mydate = new Date("11/24/2007");
//going with Javascript''s mm/dd/yyyy format
now this is good, what i want to do now is put in an integer variable
the number for the day, in this case 24
Now if i use JavaScript''s getDay() function it will return the numeric
day of the week for that day (e.g. 2 for Monday).
what i really want is the numeric day for that date, aka 24
Looked around and Javascript doesn''t have a .day element.
Any ideas how I can accomplish this in JavaScript ?
Appreciate this, really,
John.

This works, it''s hackish but it works.
date = new Date("11/24/2007");
date.toDateString().split(" ")[2];
Make sure you have the space between the " " in the split function
Merry xmas,
Cam

Can''t you do:
myDate = getDate("11/24/2007");
MyDate.day();
Or am I dreaming?

Ah I totally missed that getDate() funtion as well. That''ll teach me for not reading more closely.... Glad it worked out for you.
