Damm. If only I’d come across this two weeks ago. I s’pose I can play with dates in JS the same way I do in Rails now

Thanks

Quick and clean jQuery DatePicker integration:

Modify DatePicker’s parseDate function. After initial validation:

if (value == ”) return null;

Comment out the rest of the function. Replace with:

var dateJsParseAttemptDate = Date.parse(value);
if(dateJsParseAttemptDate) return dateJsParseAttemptDate;
throw ‘Invalid date’;

Seems to have trouble converting “12:00 PM”:
2010-06-23 12:00 AM – parses correctly
2010-06-23 12:00 PM – parses as 12 AM
2010-06-23 01:00 AM – parses correctly
2010-06-23 01:00 PM – parses correctly

Some functions are not working properly

// Get a date 30 days after a user supplied date
var d1 = Date.parse(’07.15.2007′);
var d2 = (30).days().after(d1);

Please check and let me inform

As someone mentioned earlier:
“45.You should probably update that download link up there with a newer version from SVN, it’s more than a year old now and many of the documented features (compare, isAfter, etc) are missing altogether.”

This looks like a great library and I hate complaining about awesome free software, but your website lists code examples that are up to date with the post alpha release, but there seems to be nowhere to download it.

I think maybe it is available here:
http://code.google.com/p/datejs/source/browse/trunk/#trunk/build

…but, I’m not sure. I’m trying to use the isAfter() function. I wouldn’t mind jumping through a few hoops to get to it, but a hint as to which hoops to jump through would be helpful.

Great work – thanks!

I too would like to see some way of supporting ISO 8601 dates – for me, I need a way to display Ordinal Dates.
Although I need only two digits for the year. (i.e. 10_025 insead of 2010_025)

ISO 8601 dates were mentioned in another comment above with the following links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601

Hope there is a way for this, it would save me a headache!
Thanks!

Import and export.
