Day of Week using dd/MM/yyyy Format

Forms

asked on July 14, 2016

I am trying to get a Form to return the day of the week from the input of a Date Picker using the format dd/MM/yyyy

I found the following javascript in Answers:

$(document).ready(function () {

findDay();

function findDay() {
var d = new Date($('#Field20').val());
var weekday = new Array(7);
weekday[0]= "Sunday";
weekday[1] = "Monday";
weekday[2] = "Tuesday";
weekday[3] = "Wednesday";
weekday[4] = "Thursday";
weekday[5] = "Friday";
weekday[6] = "Saturday";
var n = weekday[d.getDay()];
$('.dayWeek select').val(n);
$('.dayWeek select').trigger('change');
}

$('.reportDate').on('change', 'input', findDay);

});

The problem is the above script only works if the Date Picker format is M/d/yyyy and the requirement is to have the format as dd/MM/yyyy

Just wondering what alterations are needed to the script to work with the dd/MM/yyyy format.

It's because the new Date() function can't work well with dd/MM/yyyy format, you can change it to following:

$(document).ready(function () {
   
   findDay();
   
   function findDay() {
     var value= $('.reportDate input').val();
     var parts=value.split("/");
     var d = new Date(parts[2],parts[1]-1,parts[0]);
     var weekday = new Array(7);
     weekday[0]= "Sunday";
     weekday[1] = "Monday";
     weekday[2] = "Tuesday";
     weekday[3] = "Wednesday";
     weekday[4] = "Thursday";
     weekday[5] = "Friday";
     weekday[6] = "Saturday";
     var n = weekday[d.getDay()];
     $('.dayWeek select').val(n);
     $('.dayWeek select').trigger('change');
   }
   
   $('.reportDate').on('change', 'input', findDay);
   
 });
