Since a lot of you folks are getting into client-side work via AJAX I thought you might be able to use this.
I've put together a JavaScript library which extends the Date object with four new features. The library is here (long URL alert): <http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/JavaScript/Extensions/DP_ DateExtensions/Index.cfm> The four new features are: +) A full-featured "timeFormat()" method mirroring (and slightly extending) the ColdFusion TimeFormat() function. In other words you can finally do this in JavaScript: +) A full-featured "dateFormat()" method mirroring the ColdFusion DateFormat() function. +) A convenience method which lets you easily generate several ISO 8601 date formats in accordance with the W3C note on the subject. +) A static method which allows you to parse those same ISO 8601 dates into native JavaScript dates. Using the formatting functions you can finally do something like this in JavaScript: document.write("It's " + myDate.timeFormat('hh:mm:ss tt') + " on " + myDate.dateFormat('dddd mmmm d, yyyy')); The ISO date parsing/conversion stuff works great when using XML dialects that support them. Anyway I find this library very useful and I hope you will as well. If you find any bugs or have any suggestions please let me know.
