Creating Date Object Instances


Click on the buttons to see the values held by the Date objects we've created:



This is the script we used in the HEAD: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT"> <!-- TodaysDate = new Date() LaunchDate1 = new Date("aug, 15, 1997 12:02:00") LaunchDate2 = new Date("15, Aug, 1997 12:02:00") LaunchDate3 = new Date(1997, 7, 15) LaunchDate4 = new Date(1997, 7, 15, 14, 02, 12) //--> </SCRIPT> Then these buttons in the BODY: <FORM> <INPUT TYPE=BUTTON VALUE="TodaysDate" onclick="alert(TodaysDate)"> <INPUT TYPE=BUTTON VALUE="LaunchDate1" onclick="alert(LaunchDate1)"> <INPUT TYPE=BUTTON VALUE="LaunchDate2" onclick="alert(LaunchDate2)"><P> <INPUT TYPE=BUTTON VALUE="LaunchDate3" onclick="alert(LaunchDate3)"> <INPUT TYPE=BUTTON VALUE="LaunchDate4" onclick="alert(LaunchDate4)"> </FORM>
