Months in js are typically offset at zero when using the Date object. I
assume the google api used that too. So 0=jan, 5=june, 6=july.
Putting it more strongly, months in the Date object *do* start at zero:
0=Jan ... 11=Dec. But just to keep things confusing, years and days use
the actual numbers, e.g. 2011 is 2011, and the first day of any month is
1.
And this makes it easier to get the names of months:
var months = ["January", "February", "March", "April"]; // and so on
var currentMonth = months[new Date().getMonth()]; // don't run this script
today (or extend the array above)
Since we usually don't have names for years and the day-in-month, these
don't start with zero. We do have names for the weekdays though, and thus
they start with 0 (for sunday):
var weekdays = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday"]; // and so on
weekdays[new Date("2011-07-03").getDay()]; // is "Sunday"
