I had a requirement to fill the select list with calender dates in format

  • 0

I had a requirement to fill the select list with calender dates in format DD-MM-YYYY which i did with the following script. It populates select list with date of next 90days .

Now client request has changed and he wants to fill the select list with dates only if it is Saturday, Monday or Wednesday.. I am not able to resolve this on i tried to modify the script but it didnot work.

Below script is working. Any help in this area is appreciated

<script>
$(function(){
    function pad(n){return n<10 ? '0'+n : n}
    var date = new Date();
    var selectElement = $('<select name="dddDate" class="ddDate" >'), optionElement;
    for (var count =0; count < 90; count++){
        formattedDate = pad(date.getUTCDate()) + '-' + pad(date.getUTCMonth()+1) + '-' +  date.getUTCFullYear();
        optionElement = $('<option>')
        optionElement.attr('value',formattedDate);
        optionElement.text(formattedDate);
        selectElement.append(optionElement);
        date.setDate(date.getDate() +1);
    }
    $('#ddDate').append(selectElement);
});
</script>

    Date.getDay( ): return the day-of-the-week field of a Date. Return values are between 0 (Sunday) and 6 (Saturday).

        $(function(){
    function pad(n){return n<10 ? '0'+n : n}
    var date = new Date();
    var selectElement = $('<select name="dddDate" class="ddDate" >'), optionElement;
    for (var count =0; count < 90; count++){
        var day = date.getUTCDay();
        if (day == 6 || day == 1 || day == 3) {
          formattedDate = pad(date.getUTCDate()) + '-' + pad(date.getUTCMonth()+1) + '-' +  date.getUTCFullYear();
          optionElement = $('<option>')
          optionElement.attr('value',formattedDate);
          optionElement.text(formattedDate);
          selectElement.append(optionElement);  
        }
        date.setDate(date.getDate() +1);
    }
    $('#ddDate').append(selectElement);
    });
