how to determine if date is weekend in javascript

I'm tryng to do something for checkinf onload if date is a weekend or not, I wtitten this code.

<script type="text/javascript">
function getdate()
{
    var items = new Array();
    var itemCount = document.getElementsByClassName("date");

    for(var i = 0; i < itemCount.length; i++)
    {
        items[i] = document.getElementById("date" + (i+1)).value;
    }

    return items;
}
</script>

This script will be executed onLoad, but I don't know how to check if dates are weekend or not What I would like to do is that if a date is satturday or sunday to change it for monday.

I've done this using php doing an array and changing it but using php is not adapted for that.

Yes on the duplicate. `yourdate.getDay() == 0 || yourdate.getDay() == 6` is the short answer though — BLSully, Aug 28 '12 at 12:20
is there a way I can adapt this to my code doing something like as Ive done in php "for each" I don't know how to adapt it — Stanislas Piotrowski, Aug 28 '12 at 12:21
format are from mysql but I've change them using date('d-m-Y', strtotime($date)) because I use european format — Stanislas Piotrowski, Aug 28 '12 at 12:22
now it give me something like that Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input edit_scenario.php:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: getdate is not defined edit_scenario.php:138 — Stanislas Piotrowski, Aug 29 '12 at 05:57

Simply;

     var yourDate = new Date('2012-08-26');
            if(yourDate.getDay() === 6){
               //saturday
            }
          if(yourDate.getDay() === 0){ 
              //sunday
            }

   // if date is in 28-08-2012 format
     var date = '26-08-2012';
     yourDate = new Date(date.split('-')[2],date.split('-')[1],date.split('-')[0]);
         if(yourDate.getDay() === 6){
               //saturday
            }
          if(yourDate.getDay() === 0){ 
              //sunday
            }

Parse the date, and then use getDay():

for (var i = 0; i < itemCount.length; i++) {
    items[i] = document.getElementById("date" + (i+1)).value;
    var itemDtParts = item[i].split("-");
    var itemDt = new Date(itemDtParts[2], itemDtParts[1] - 1, itemDtParts[0]);
    if (itemDt.getDay() == 6 || itemDt.getDay() == 0) {
      // weekend
    }
}

@StanislasPiotrowski: Can you give me an example string? `28-08-2012`? – João Silva Aug 28 '12 at 12:27
for example for today which is the 28th day of august 2012 we use 28-08-2012 – Stanislas Piotrowski Aug 28 '12 at 12:31
@StanislasPiotrowski: Ok, I've edited my answer to parse that date format. – João Silva Aug 28 '12 at 12:32
