For those familiar with coldfusion, this function might be of use. It
is called DateAdd and takes 3 parameters just like the CF version. It
can be extended for other date parts, but this code snipit is only for
modifying the year of a date passed. I have used both for passing
dates to webservice calls and they work perfectly. I hope it helps.
function DateAdd(datepart, value, tmpDate):Date{
// tmpDate is a date in the YYYY,MM,DD,HH,MM,SS format
if (tmpDate == ''){tmpDate = Now();}
var new_date:Date;
var tmpValue:Number;
if (datepart == 'yyyy'){
tmpValue = tmpDate.getFullYear() + value;
new_date = new
Date(tmpValue,tmpDate.getMonth(),tmpDate.getDate(),tmpDate.getHours(),tmpDate.getMinutes(),tmpDate.getSeconds(),tmpDate.getMilliseconds());
}
//alert('oldDate:' + tmpDate.toString() + ' & newDate:' +
new_date.toString());
return new_date;
}
I also created a version of Now() for this to easily create dates w/o
having to set a variable first. Very simple, but here it is:
function Now():Date{
var today_date:Date = new Date();
return today_date;
}
