I am building my first javascript because I searched here and on many sites for a solution but could not find anyone for my case.
What I need is to display the current day value to a div with a classname and with day name and month name (customized). But the div is displaying the current date like this: Sat 6 Jun 123 so the year is wrong and the day name is wrong too
var months = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"];
var days = ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"];
var today = new Date();
var day = today.getDate();
var month = today.getMonth();
var year = today.getYear();
var dia = today.getDay();
var display = days[day] + " " + day + " " + months[month] + " " + year;
$('.first-date').html(display);<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<span class="first-date"></span>Any idea why is this happening?
I did everything I could but I am new to Javascript/Jquery
>Solution :
getYear is now deprecated so you need to use getFullYear like:
var months = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"];
var days = ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"];
var today = new Date();
var day = today.getDate();
var dayForText = today.getDay();
var month = today.getMonth();
var year = today.getFullYear();
var dia = today.getDay();
var display = days[dayForText] + " " + day + " " + months[month] + " " + year;
$('.first-date').html(display);<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<span class="first-date"></span>And another error, getDay return number range 0-6 (for your array) not the actually number of day, so you need to create two variable one for you custom day and one for number of day
