Question

I found this code online. I was trying to get it to write the date 9 days from today, but I can’t figure out how to do that. Does anyone know what to change in this code?

var d_names = new Array("Sunday,", "Monday,", "Tuesday,",
"Wednesday,", "Thursday,", "Friday,", "Saturday,");

var m_names = new Array("January ", "February ", "March ", 
"April ", "May ", "June ", "July ", "August ", "September ", 
"October ", "November ", "December ");

var d = new Date();
var curr_day = d.getDay();
var curr_date = d.getDate();
var sup = "";
if (curr_date == 1 || curr_date == 21 || curr_date ==31)
   {
   sup = "st";
   }
else if (curr_date == 2 || curr_date == 22)
   {
   sup = "nd";
   }
else if (curr_date == 3 || curr_date == 23)
   {
   sup = "rd";
   }
else
   {
   sup = "th";
   }
var curr_month = d.getMonth();
var curr_year = d.getFullYear();

document.write(d_names[curr_day] + " " + m_names[curr_month] + curr_date + "<SUP>" +     sup   + "</SUP> " + " " + curr_year);

This formats the date like: Saturday, August 20th 2011

Right after:

var d = new Date();

Write:

d.setDate(d.getDate()+9);

So you have:

var d = new Date();
d.setDate(d.getDate()+9);
var curr_day = d.getDay();
var curr_date = d.getDate();
