I'm using javascript to display the date which was 4 days before. I used "date=date-4;" to set back the date, but whenever it is 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th of the month it displays negative number in the day such as -3 March 2009. Is it possible to modify it somehow to display the date that was 4 days before which will work with first days of the month?
Here is my code that I use:
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
<!-- Begin
var months=new Array(13);
months[1]="Stycznia";
months[2]="Lutego";
months[3]="Marca";
months[4]="Kwietnia";
months[5]="Maja";
months[6]="Czerwca";
months[7]="Lipca";
months[8]="Sierpnia";
months[9]="Września";
months[10]="Października";
months[11]="Listopada";
months[12]="Grudnia";
var time=new Date();
var lmonth=months[time.getMonth() + 1];
var date=time.getDate();
var year=time.getYear();
date=date-4;
if (year < 2000) // Y2K Fix, Isaac Powell
year = year + 1900;
document.write("<b>" + date + " ");
document.write(lmonth + ", " + year + "</b>");
// End -->
</script>
Thanks!
