getDay Method
Returns the day of the week value in a Date object using local time.
function getDay() : Number
To get the day using Coordinated Universal 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 |
|---|---|
| 0 | Sunday |
| 1 | Monday |
| 2 | Tuesday |
| 3 | Wednesday |
| 4 | Thursday |
| 5 | Friday |
| 6 | Saturday |
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]);
}
