JS issue

acrikey · #1 Jul 23rd, 2007, 15:39

Built this text generator depending on the month, but it does not work, can someone please check to see where I have gone wrong please:

HTML: Select all

<html >

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<title>JS</title>
</head>


<body>
 
<script>

var Digital=new Date()
var month=Digital.getMonth()

if (the_month()==0&&month<=2) 
{document.write("Our school talk tour on extreme Freeride is now taking bookings for the Summer term.");}

if (the_month()==3&&month<=5) 
{document.write('Our school talk tour on extreme Freeride is now taking bookings for the Autumn term');}
if (the_month()==6&&month<=11) 
{document.write('Our school talk tour on extreme Freeride does not take booking for the Spirng term');}

</script>

</body>

</html>

Try this:

Code: Select all

<script>

var Digital=new Date()
var month=Digital.getMonth()

if (month<=1 && month<=3) 
{document.write('No Booking between months 1 and 3');}
else if (month<=4 && month<=7) 
{document.write('No Booking between months 4 and 7');}
else if (month<=8 && month<=12) 
{document.write('No Booking between months 5 and 12');}

</script>

I've screwed up your dates there, so just change the numbers and message as you see fit.

It works up to August then drops out and I thought the months were one behind what they were on a calendar,

0=January
1=February
2=March
3=April
4=May
5=June
6=July
7=August
8=September
9=October
10=November
11=December

what browser are you using cause it works fine here in FireFox

It works at the moment in FF & IE but if you advance you clock to August and beyond it does not display any text.
Am I right about the month codes for JS though?
I am using FF to answer your question!

Well sadly I made the mistake of forwading my clock to october and then 40 million reminders came up (really must stop my phone synching with the pc) but I see what you mean....

to answer your question the value returned by getMonth() is a number between 0 and 11. January is 0, February is 1 and so on.

I have adapted the code and it works ok here but again I cant forward my clock...

Code: Select all

<script>

var Digital=new Date()
var month=Digital.getMonth()

if (month <= 2){
    // month is between jan and march
    document.write("First Quarter of year");
} else if (month <= 5){
    // month is between april and june
    document.write("Second Quarter of year");
} else if (month <= 8){    
    // july and september
    document.write("Third Quarter of year");
} else {
    // otherwise its between oct and dec
    document.write("Fourth Quarter of year");
}
</script>
