Date question

[4string]

How would I display the date for the first Saturday of the coming month? Is there a simple function to show that? For instance, it would currently display June 4, 2005 until that day then after that day passes, it'd display the date for the first Saturday in July.

Any help appreciated!

hi,

you might try:

function firstSatNextMonth() 
 { 
 var aktdate, ck, i, nextmo, yr;  
 aktdate=new Date();  
 yr=aktdate.getFullYear(); 
 nextmo=aktdate.getMonth()+1; 
 if(nextmo==12) 
 { 
 nextmo=0;  
 yr+=1; 
 } 
 for(i=1; i<8; i++) 
 { 
 ck=new Date (yr, nextmo, i); 
 if(ck.getDay()==6) break; 
 } 
 return(ck); 
 } 

This will work for local dates. You perhaps will want to use the functions for UTC-Dates.
For these see the description of the Date object in

Thanks very much! Looks like it'll do the trick.
