JavaScript Current Date Coding - Using Full Month, Day and Year (i.e. January 1, 2015)

Here is the code that I went with and it works perfectly:

var m_names = new Array("January", "February", "March",
"April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September",
"October", "November", "December");
var today = new Date();
var dd = today.getDate();
var mm = today.getMonth();
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
if(dd<10) { dd='0'+dd }
var date= m_names[mm]+' '+dd+', '+yyyy;
var player = GetPlayer();
player.SetVar("SystemDate",date);

Thank you, Jackson! :)

Hi Jackson, I was looking in the archives trying to find some script to take the current date and modify it for a simulation. Basically I want to take the day the learner is taking the course a create 4 variables to be displayed in the simulation:

Last Payment date 1 = previous month on the 1st of the month

Last Payment date 2 = previous month on the 15th of the month

Due Date 1 = next month on the 1st of the month

Due Date 2 = next month on the 15th of the month

This will keep the dates fresh in the course.

Any ideas? Thanks!

A~

I see this was 3 years ago but I just applied this to my project for a date on a certificate. It worked very well. Thanks for the solution.

Awesome Jeffrey! Glad that this thread was able to help you as well :) Thanks for chiming in!
