getDay Method (JScript 5.6) 

Returns the day of the week value in a Date object using local time.


dateObj.getDay() 

Remarks

The required dateObj reference is a Date object.

To get the day using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), use the getUTCDay method.

The value returned from the getDay method is an integer between 0 and 6 representing the day of the week and corresponds to a day of the week as follows:

Value Day of the Week

The following example illustrates the use of the getDay method.

function DateDemo(){

   var d, day, x, s = "Today is: ";

   var x = new Array("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday");

   var x = x.concat("Wednesday","Thursday", "Friday");

   var x = x.concat("Saturday");

   d = new Date();

   day = d.getDay();

   return(s += x[day]);

}
