getDay Method (JScript 5.6)


dateObj.getDay()

The required dateObj reference is a Date object.

To get the day using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), use the getUTCDay method.

The value returned from the getDay method is an integer between 0 and 6 representing the day of the week and corresponds to a day of the week as follows:

Value	Day of the Week
0	Sunday
1	Monday
2	Tuesday
3	Wednesday
4	Thursday
5	Friday
6	Saturday

The following example illustrates the use of the getDay method.

┬á	Copy Code
function DateDemo(){ var d, day, x, s = "Today is: "; var x = new Array("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday"); var x = x.concat("Wednesday","Thursday", "Friday"); var x = x.concat("Saturday"); d = new Date(); day = d.getDay(); return(s += x[day]); }
