ISO 8601 date format - Add day with javascript

Question

How to add days to date with ISO 8601 Format using Javascript.

var date = new Date(2013, 9, 18, 18, 0, 0);
var myDate = date + 1

There is no ISO-8601 anywhere in that question. :-) ISO-8601 is a way to describe dates as *text*, e.g. `"2013-10-18T18:00:00"`. JavaScript doesn't do ISO-8601 (although it [does something very similar](http://blog.niftysnippets.org/2014/07/javascripts-datetime-format-is-not-iso.html)). — T.J. Crowder, Sep 08 '14 at 16:29

This will add a day to the date:

date.setDate(date.getDate()+1);

@IshanMahajan Works for me. I just set the variable to today's date (July 31), and when I used `setDate(date.getDate()+1)` it changed to August 1. – Barmar Jul 31 '17 at 06:16
@IshanMahajan If you can't get it to work, post a question showing your code. – Barmar Jul 31 '17 at 06:18
