Question

This should be easy, but I’m looking to add an integer variable called “rental_period” to the current date and then display it in DD/MM/YYYY form. This is my code:

    duedate.setDate(duedate.getDate()+rental_period);
  $("#pricing_due").html("DUE DATE: <strong>" +  duedate.getDay() + "/" + duedate.getMonth() + "/" + duedate.getFullYear() + "</strong>");

Answer 1

Javascript datetimes are stored in milliseconds.

Therefore, assuming that rental_period in a number of days, you need to write

 duedate.setTime(duedate.getTime() + rental_period * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);

(24 hours × 60 minutes × 60 seconds × 1000 milliseconds)

EDIT: Your code should work as is.
