I want to show on our site when the chat is available. The problem is that it won’t be open in the weekends. How do I exclude them? Can it be done?

<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
function chatonoff(){
var now = new Date();
var hour = now.getHours();

if (hour >=9 && hour <=18)
{
document.getElementById("chat").src = "/bilder/butik/chat-open.png";
}
}
</script>
<img id="chat" src="/bilder/butik/chat.png" onload="chatonoff()">

</body>
</html>

    You could do like this

    function chatonoff(){
    var now = new Date();
    var hour = now.getHours();
    var day = now.getDay();

    //Check if weekend : in this case, I assume that saturday == 6 and Sunday = 0
    //It depends on your location / timezone
    if(day != 6 && day != 0)
    {
        if (hour >=9 && hour <=18)
        {
            document.getElementById("chat").src = "/bilder/butik/chat-open.png";
        }
    }
}

    EDIT

    About excluding hollidays :

    You should create an array with all the off dates. Then, check if the curent day is present in the array

      var offDaysListArray = ['2013-01-01','2013-01-02'];

  var now = new Date();
  var y = now .getFullYear();
  var d = (now .getDate() < 10) ? '0'+now .getDate() : now .getDate();
  var m = ((now .getMonth()+1) < 10) ? '0'+(now .getMonth()+1) : (now .getMonth()+1);

  //Check if it is a closed day
  if(offDaysListArray.indexOf(y + '-' + m + '-' + d) != -1)    
      return false; //It is a close day

    Be carefull with indexOf, old browser like IE8 doesn’t implement this function. Check Why doesn't indexOf work on an array IE8?
