The current month can be determined in JavaScript by using the getMonth method of the JavaScript date object, as follows:
var dteNow = new Date();
document.write(dteNow.getMonth());
The value returned by the getMonth method is an integer value between 0 and 11, with 0 being January and 11 being December. (Note that the date is determined from the client machine date.) To convert this integer to a string representation of the month, use a switch statement:
var intMonth = dteNow.getMonth();
var strMonth = '';
switch (intMonth)
{
case 0: strMonth = 'January'; break;
case 1: strMonth = 'February'; break;
case 2: strMonth = 'March'; break;
case 3: strMonth = 'April'; break;
case 4: strMonth = 'May'; break;
case 5: strMonth = 'June'; break;
case 6: strMonth = 'July'; break;
case 7: strMonth = 'August'; break;
case 8: strMonth = 'September'; break;
case 9: strMonth = 'October'; break;
case 10: strMonth = 'November'; break;
case 11: strMonth = 'December'; break;
}
document.write(strMonth);
