Question

I currently have this method:

function fill_date_jaarlijks()
{
    var today = new Date();
$("#datepicker_eind").datepicker("setDate", new Date(today.getFullYear()+1,today.getMonth(),today.getDay()));
}

What it should do is, return the date of (today + 1 year).

What it actually returns is 01 December 2012, while today’s date is 19 December 2011.

Could someone explain?

Answer 1

getDay returns day of week

Use getDate instead.

Or better still:

var dateValue = new Date();
dateValue.setFullYear(dateValue.getFullYear() + 1);
$("#datepicker_eind").datepicker("setDate", dateValue);
