update date field
Hi,
In my form I use 2 date fields. start and end.
Start = user input.
End : has to be start + 3 weeks.
How can I do this with javascript?
Thanks,
Johan

Re: update date field
Zazzium,
Thanks for your reply.
I've tried it with
Then I get NaN so seems I'm doing something wrong.
Any idea?
Johan
Thanks for your reply.
I've tried it with
Code: Select all
// Get a date 30 days after a user supplied date
var d1 = Date.parse('start');
var d2 = (30).days().after(d1);
alert(d2);
Any idea?

Re: update date field
First u have to convert the date to something js can handle.
if u have date format like yyyy-mm-dd u can make function like:
if u have differente date format for 'start' u have to change the function accordingly
datejs proper APIDocumentation is here:
http://code.google.com/p/datejs/wiki/APIDocumentation
hope it helps
if u have date format like yyyy-mm-dd u can make function like:
Code: Select all
function convertJsDate(convert_date) //format yyyy-mm-dd
{
date_split = convert_date.split('-');
convertDate = date_split[0]+"/"+date_split[2]+"/"+date_split[1];
return convertDate; //returns yyyy/dd/mm
}
var start="2012-11-12";
var start_date = convertJsDate(start);
var end_date = new Date(start_date).addWeeks(3).toString("yyyy-M-dd"); //adds 3weeks and converts date to yyyy-mm-dd
alert(end_date);

Re: update date field
Zazzium,
I'm trying to let your code work. This is what I made of it
alert(end_date) does'nt work. Step by step I see that alert(start_date) returns the correct date filled in 'start' on my form. Seems I"m doing something wrong in var end_date. Problem is I don't see what I'm doing wrong
I'm trying to let your code work. This is what I made of it
Code: Select all
function convertJsDate(convert_date) //format dd-mm-yyyy
{
date_split = convert_date.split('-');
convertDate = date_split[0]+"-"+date_split[1]+"-"+date_split[2];
return convertDate; //returns dd/mm/yyyy
}
function eind_datum(){
var start= document.getElementById('start').value;
var start_date = convertJsDate(start);
var end_date = new Date(start_date).addWeeks(3).toString("dd-mm-yyyy"); //adds 3weeks and converts date to yyyy-mm-dd; //adds 3weeks and converts date to dd-mm-yyyy
alert (end_date);
}

Re: update date field
Try this (just copy paste)
Code: Select all
function convertJsDate(convert_date) //format dd-mm-yyyy
{
date_split = convert_date.split('-');
fromDate = insert_split[1]+"/"+insert_split[0]+"/"+insert_split[2];
return convertDate;
}
function eind_datum(){
var start= document.getElementById('start').value;
var start_date = convertJsDate(start);
var end_date = new Date(start_date).addWeeks(3).toString("dd-M-yyyy");
alert (end_date);
}

Zazzium,
Thanks for your reply but this code does'nt work.
I've tried alert(end_date) - alert (start_date). Non of these gives me an alert.

Re: update date field
Zazzium,
When I change this I get start_date = 11/13/2012 (m/dd/yyyy) My input from start = dd/mm/yyyy
That's why I've changed var convertDate = date_split[1]+"/"+date_split[0]+"/"+date_split[2]; to var convertDate = date_split[0]+"/"+date_split[1]+"/"+date_split[2];
alert(end_date) still doesn't work.

Re: update date field
js date format has to be mm/dd/yyyy (or yyyy/mm/dd )
btw, it's a silly question, but did u downloaded and included the datejs library (date.js) file?
