Show week number with Javascript?

Simply add it to your current code, then call (new Date()).getWeek()

<script>
    Date.prototype.getWeek = function() {
        var onejan = new Date(this.getFullYear(), 0, 1);
        return Math.ceil((((this - onejan) / 86400000) + onejan.getDay() + 1) / 7);
    }

    var weekNumber = (new Date()).getWeek();

    var dayNames = ['Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday'];
    var now = new Date();
    document.write(dayNames[now.getDay()] + " (" + weekNumber + ").");
</script>

Consider using my implementation of "Date.prototype.getWeek", think is more accurate than the others i have seen here :)

Date.prototype.getWeek = function(){
    // We have to compare against the first monday of the year not the 01/01
    // 60*60*24*1000 = 86400000
    // 'onejan_next_monday_time' reffers to the miliseconds of the next monday after 01/01

    var day_miliseconds = 86400000,
        onejan = new Date(this.getFullYear(),0,1,0,0,0),
        onejan_day = (onejan.getDay()==0) ? 7 : onejan.getDay(),
        days_for_next_monday = (8-onejan_day),
        onejan_next_monday_time = onejan.getTime() + (days_for_next_monday * day_miliseconds),
        // If one jan is not a monday, get the first monday of the year
        first_monday_year_time = (onejan_day>1) ? onejan_next_monday_time : onejan.getTime(),
        this_date = new Date(this.getFullYear(), this.getMonth(),this.getDate(),0,0,0),// This at 00:00:00
        this_time = this_date.getTime(),
        days_from_first_monday = Math.round(((this_time - first_monday_year_time) / day_miliseconds));

    var first_monday_year = new Date(first_monday_year_time);

    // We add 1 to "days_from_first_monday" because if "days_from_first_monday" is *7,
    // then 7/7 = 1, and as we are 7 days from first monday,
    // we should be in week number 2 instead of week number 1 (7/7=1)
    // We consider week number as 52 when "days_from_first_monday" is lower than 0,
    // that means the actual week started before the first monday so that means we are on the firsts
    // days of the year (ex: we are on Friday 01/01, then "days_from_first_monday"=-3,
    // so friday 01/01 is part of week number 52 from past year)
    // "days_from_first_monday<=364" because (364+1)/7 == 52, if we are on day 365, then (365+1)/7 >= 52 (Math.ceil(366/7)=53) and thats wrong

    return (days_from_first_monday>=0 && days_from_first_monday<364) ? Math.ceil((days_from_first_monday+1)/7) : 52;
}

You can check my public repo here https://bitbucket.org/agustinhaller/date.getweek (Tests included)

In case you already use jquery-ui (specifically datepicker):

Date.prototype.getWeek = function () { return $.datepicker.iso8601Week(this); }

Usage:

var myDate = new Date();
myDate.getWeek();

More here: UI/Datepicker/iso8601Week

I realize this isn't a general solution as it incurs a dependency. However, considering the popularity of jquery-ui this might just be a simple fit for someone - as it was for me.
