jscript to show month / year to comply with Firefox Mozilla

[multimediamkt]

may 10th 2006



I´ve employed the script at the bottom of this page to show month/year ;
It works fine with IE , Opera and Netscape if "Display like IE" menu is selected ;
is there a way to modify this script to render it compatible with Firefox or even another script that
works with all main browsers ?





<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var n = new Date(), m = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September',
'October', 'November', 'December'];
document.write(m[n.getMonth()] + ' ' + n.getFullYear());
//]]>
</script>

Try this:


<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var now = new Date();
var days = new Array(
'Sunday','Monday','Tuesday',
'Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday');
var months = new Array(
'January','February','March','April','May',
'June','July','August','September','October',
'November','December');
var date = ((now.getDate()<10) ? "0" : "")+ now.getDate();
function fourdigits(number) {
return (number < 1000) ? number + 1900 : number;}
today = days[now.getDay()] + ", " +
months[now.getMonth()] + " " +
date + ", " +
(fourdigits(now.getYear()));
document.write(today);
//-->
</script>

Note: I did not make this script. Source:

I use the same one. That works in all three browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera).

That´s strange I inserted the code as it is among the head but it does not work ;

Put this in a file called date.js

var now = new Date();
var days = new Array(
'Sunday','Monday','Tuesday',
'Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday');
var months = new Array(
'January','February','March','April','May',
'June','July','August','September','October',
'November','December');
var date = ((now.getDate()<10) ? "0" : "")+ now.getDate();
function fourdigits(number) {
return (number < 1000) ? number + 1900 : number;}
today = days[now.getDay()] + ", " +
months[now.getMonth()] + " " +
date + ", " +
(fourdigits(now.getYear()));
document.write(today);
And put this between your head tags:


<script language="JavaScript" src="date.js"></script>

pardon my previous post , I should be forty winks , the script was supposed to be inserted somewhere into the body tag.
I tried to modify the script to show only month & year (I do not need the date) ;

Why don't you use PHP, it's a lot easier...

It might help if you post the HTML and the JavaScript that you're currently working with. We could sit here and keep guessing as to why it's not working, but with code to work off of it's easier to troubleshoot.
