My question is how can get from a date like: mm/dd/yyyy to Saturday 26 april 2014?
Within the div I've a date as rel,
<td class="td-time" rel="06/02/14">09.00</td>
Js
var firstRowDate = $('.td-time:first-child').attr('rel');
var date = new Date(firstRowDate);
I did try like this:
var n = firstRowDate.getDay();
But I get a error: undefined is not a function
If your date object is a valid date then,
var firstRowDate = $('.td-time:first-child').attr('rel');
var date = new Date(firstRowDate);
var dateString = date.toDateString();
You should have looked at http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_date.asp . List of all the date js functions you need.

If you have a string in month/day/year format, you can use a function like the following to convert it to day-name date month-name year format:
// s is date in m/d/y format
function convertMDYstring(s) {
var b = s.split(/\D/);
var d = new Date(b[2],--b[0],b[1]);
// Replace with day names in appropriate language
var days = ['Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday',
'Thursday','Friday','Saturday'];
// Replace with month names in appropriate language
var months = ['January','February','March','April','May','June','July',
'August', 'September','October','November','December'];
// Helper for padding single digit values
function z(n){return (n<10? '0' : '') + n;}
return days[d.getDay()] + ' ' + d.getDate() + ' ' +
months[d.getMonth()] + ' ' + d.getFullYear();
}
var d = new Date("1/05/2014");
var months = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'];<br>
var days = ['Sun', 'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat'];<br>
var date =days[d.getDay()]+" "+ d.getDate() + " " + months[d.getMonth()] + " " + d.getFullYear();
alert(date);
In your code, you are doing something wrong:
I did try like this:
var n = firstRowDate.getDay();
Here the firstRowDate is not a date time variable/object.
You should try like that -
var n = date.getDay()
And according your question title:
var dd = new Date($('.td-time').attr('rel'));
var weekday = 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 curMonth = months[dd.getMonth()];
var dayOfWeek = weekday[dd.getDay()];
alert(dayOfWeek + " " + dd.getDate() + " " + curMonth + " " + dd.getFullYear());
You can convert Date to almost any format using the Snippet I have added below.
For your Case you need to execute this:
Code:
dateFormat(new Date(),"dddd d mmmm yyyy")
Output
Monday 2 June 2014"
Other example
// Can also be used as a standalone function
dateFormat(new Date(), "dddd, mmmm dS, yyyy, h:MM:ss TT");
// Saturday, June 9th, 2007, 5:46:21 PM
Snippet:
Add following code taken from this link into your code.
var dateFormat = function () {
var token = /d{1,4}|m{1,4}|yy(?:yy)?|([HhMsTt])\1?|[LloSZ]|"[^"]*"|'[^']*'/g,
timezone = /\b(?:[PMCEA][SDP]T|(?:Pacific|Mountain|Central|Eastern|Atlantic) (?:Standard|Daylight|Prevailing) Time|(?:GMT|UTC)(?:[-+]\d{4})?)\b/g,
timezoneClip = /[^-+\dA-Z]/g,
pad = function (val, len) {
val = String(val);
len = len || 2;
while (val.length < len) val = "0" + val;
return val;
};
// Regexes and supporting functions are cached through closure
return function (date, mask, utc) {
var dF = dateFormat;
// You can't provide utc if you skip other args (use the "UTC:" mask prefix)
if (arguments.length == 1 && Object.prototype.toString.call(date) == "[object String]" && !/\d/.test(date)) {
mask = date;
date = undefined;
}
// Passing date through Date applies Date.parse, if necessary
date = date ? new Date(date) : new Date;
if (isNaN(date)) throw SyntaxError("invalid date");
mask = String(dF.masks[mask] || mask || dF.masks["default"]);
// Allow setting the utc argument via the mask
if (mask.slice(0, 4) == "UTC:") {
mask = mask.slice(4);
utc = true;
}
var _ = utc ? "getUTC" : "get",
d = date[_ + "Date"](),
D = date[_ + "Day"](),
m = date[_ + "Month"](),
y = date[_ + "FullYear"](),
H = date[_ + "Hours"](),
M = date[_ + "Minutes"](),
s = date[_ + "Seconds"](),
L = date[_ + "Milliseconds"](),
o = utc ? 0 : date.getTimezoneOffset(),
flags = {
d: d,
dd: pad(d),
ddd: dF.i18n.dayNames[D],
dddd: dF.i18n.dayNames[D + 7],
m: m + 1,
mm: pad(m + 1),
mmm: dF.i18n.monthNames[m],
mmmm: dF.i18n.monthNames[m + 12],
yy: String(y).slice(2),
yyyy: y,
h: H % 12 || 12,
hh: pad(H % 12 || 12),
H: H,
HH: pad(H),
M: M,
MM: pad(M),
s: s,
ss: pad(s),
l: pad(L, 3),
L: pad(L > 99 ? Math.round(L / 10) : L),
t: H < 12 ? "a" : "p",
tt: H < 12 ? "am" : "pm",
T: H < 12 ? "A" : "P",
TT: H < 12 ? "AM" : "PM",
Z: utc ? "UTC" : (String(date).match(timezone) || [""]).pop().replace(timezoneClip, ""),
o: (o > 0 ? "-" : "+") + pad(Math.floor(Math.abs(o) / 60) * 100 + Math.abs(o) % 60, 4),
S: ["th", "st", "nd", "rd"][d % 10 > 3 ? 0 : (d % 100 - d % 10 != 10) * d % 10]
};
return mask.replace(token, function ($0) {
return $0 in flags ? flags[$0] : $0.slice(1, $0.length - 1);
});
};
}();
// Some common format strings
dateFormat.masks = {
"default": "ddd mmm dd yyyy HH:MM:ss",
shortDate: "m/d/yy",
mediumDate: "mmm d, yyyy",
longDate: "mmmm d, yyyy",
fullDate: "dddd, mmmm d, yyyy",
shortTime: "h:MM TT",
mediumTime: "h:MM:ss TT",
longTime: "h:MM:ss TT Z",
isoDate: "yyyy-mm-dd",
isoTime: "HH:MM:ss",
isoDateTime: "yyyy-mm-dd'T'HH:MM:ss",
isoUtcDateTime: "UTC:yyyy-mm-dd'T'HH:MM:ss'Z'"
};
// Internationalization strings
dateFormat.i18n = {
dayNames: [
"Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat",
"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"
],
monthNames: [
"Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec",
"January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"
]
};
// For convenience...
Date.prototype.format = function (mask, utc) {
return dateFormat(this, mask, utc);
};
