javascript date + 7 days
What's wrong with this script?
When I set my clock to say 29/04/2011 it adds 36/4/2011 in the week input! but the correct date should be 6/5/2011
var d = new Date();
var curr_date = d.getDate();
var tomo_date = d.getDate()+1;
var seven_date = d.getDate()+7;
var curr_month = d.getMonth();
curr_month++;
var curr_year = d.getFullYear();
var tomorrowsDate =(tomo_date + "/" + curr_month + "/" + curr_year);
var weekDate =(seven_date + "/" + curr_month + "/" + curr_year);
{
jQuery("input[id*='tomorrow']").val(tomorrowsDate);
jQuery("input[id*='week']").val(weekDate);
}
Solution 1:
var date = new Date();
date.setDate(date.getDate() + 7);
console.log(date);
And yes, this also works if date.getDate() + 7
is greater than the last day of the month. See MDN for more information.
Solution 2:
Without declaration
To return timestamp
new Date().setDate(new Date().getDate() + 7)
To return date
new Date(new Date().setDate(new Date().getDate() + 7))
Solution 3:
Something like this?
var days = 7;
var date = new Date();
var res = date.setTime(date.getTime() + (days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
alert(res);
convert to date again:
date = new Date(res);
alert(date)
or alternatively:
date = new Date(res);
// hours part from the timestamp
var hours = date.getHours();
// minutes part from the timestamp
var minutes = date.getMinutes();
// seconds part from the timestamp
var seconds = date.getSeconds();
// will display time in 10:30:23 format
var formattedTime = date + '-' + hours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds;
alert(formattedTime)
