Question

I am trying to create a testing script in Selenium and I need to enter a date. I have figured out how to get the dates using:

storeEval var d=new Date(); d.getDate() CurrentDay
store Eval var m=new Date(); (m.getMonth()+1) CurrentMonth
storeEval var y=new Date(); y.getFullYear() CurrentYear

Now I want want to create variables for times in the past and future. I have been told I can do so using milliseconds, which is amazing but the closest I can come is this:

storeEval new Date().getTime()[phone] //604800000- being 7 days in the future

I get back: 1350932638018 which is 7 days forward according to this amazing calculator I found.

So, how do I take the number I found and extract the date, month and year as I did for today’s date.

Answer 1

If your future date is stored in the variable d then it should be as easy as:

var n = new Date(d);

or if it isn’t stored in a variable, then maybe something like this?

var n = new Date(Date().getTime()[phone]);

And then now n is a date object and you should be able to use the .getFullYear() methods.
