Make a date read ahead

Question

I want to know if it is possible to modify the date below to read 2 weeks ahead, instead of reading the actual date?

<script language="JavaScript">
  var now = new Date();
  var dayNames = new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday");
  var monNames = new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");
  document.write(" " + dayNames[now.getDay()] + " " + monNames[now.getMonth()] + " " + now.getDate() + ", " + now.getFullYear());
</script>
    
<!--End Date Script-->

Yes. Search for *javascript add days to date* and add 14 to `now` — Alex K., Apr 09 '15 at 17:01

@bobos as a recommendation for future questions, try to also add what you tried to do, that way it doesn't look like you suddenly had the need for this and the first thing you did was ask here. — Deleteman, Apr 09 '15 at 18:28

var daysToAdd = 14; 
var myDate = new Date(new Date().getTime()+(daysToAdd * 24 * 60 * 60 *1000));

var output = [
  dayNames[myDate.getDay()],
  monNames[myDate.getMonth()],
  myDate.getDate(),
].join(' ') + ', ' + myDate.getFullYear(); // "Thursday April 23, 2015"

If the demo works, it's most likely a problem in your own code @bobos – unbindall Apr 09 '15 at 23:31
@Andy, please could you demonstrate how it should be on the HTML file. Please! – bobos Apr 10 '15 at 14:09
@bobos, what HTML file? What are you asking? – Andy Apr 10 '15 at 14:14
@Andy I am a newbie and would like you to demonstrate in full how it should appear on the HTML file where the code is intended to be used. Thank – bobos Apr 10 '15 at 15:48
@Andy, For reference, you can see the answer to this question. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29543303/allow-certain-characters-in-textbox at the point where the teacher wrote "So your whole page should look like:" – bobos Apr 10 '15 at 15:54
It goes within `` tags. What you do with it after that is entirely up to you. I can't, and don't have the time, to give you a tutorial on HTML/JavaScript, I'm sorry. – Andy Apr 10 '15 at 16:22
