Question

I use this code to show the next 2 days

var mydate= new Date();
mydate.setDate(mydate.getDate()+2)
document.write("Tomorrow Date :" +mydate.getDate()+"/"+(mydate.getMonth()+1)+"/"+mydate.getFullYear());

and it gives me a correct date, but I want it to have this format example: Jan-01-2012.

Can anyone help me on this? I tried using this string mydate.format('mmm,d,y'); and it returns none.

Thanks in adnvance

Answer 1

It’s impossible to format a Date with native javascript API.

The only possible output with native API is the combination of d, dd, ddd, M, MM, MMM, y, yy, and yyyy by using toString() and get*() methods and regular expression.

So the better solution is to use a third party library, like moment.js.
