Question

function convertDateFormat(){
//  alert("hi");
     $(".tour-dates ul li").each(function(){
//      alert(monthConvert($(this).find(".month").text()));
        var replace = monthConvert($(this).find(".month").text());
        $(this).find(".month").text(replace);
    });
}

I have the above function in a js file and i’m calling it from $(document).ready(function(){...

you can see i have two alert statements that are commented.

if they are commented the function doesn’t seem to be called because the changes aren’t reflected.
If i remove the comment and let the alert work, the changes appear!

What am I doing wrong?

FYI:
The monthConvert function:

function monthConvert(monthInt){    

    var monthArray = new Array();

        monthArray["1"]="JAN";
        monthArray["2"]="FEB";
        monthArray["3"]="MAR";
        monthArray["4"]="APR";
        monthArray["5"]="MAY";
        monthArray["6"]="JUN";
        monthArray["7"]="JUL";
        monthArray["8"]="AUG";
        monthArray["9"]="SEP";
        monthArray["10"]="OCT";
        monthArray["11"]="NOV";
        monthArray["12"]="DEC";

    return monthArray[monthInt];
}
