Question

Looking for a simple solution for adding 2 days to a selected date in JQuery/Javascript.

The date is returned in the format Y-m-d producing for today for example 2011-07-09. What I want to do is add 2 days to that. This would be easy in php with the strtotime function, but how is it done in javascript.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Use the JavaScript Date object’s setDate() method.

var myDate = new Date('2011-07-09');
myDate.setDate(myDate.getDate() + 2);
