i.e. Today is Jan 24, Fri. Then get the number of days between then and now. Then mod it by 7 to get the number of days to shift. This should all be able to work in JavaScript.
But I think it might be easier to get a JavaScript Date object and use the getDay() method to get the day of the week (0=Sunday).
example:
var myDate = new Date("July 4, 2006");
var iDayOfWeek = myDate.getDay();
You'll find that July 4, 2006 is actually a Tuesday

Anybody know the algorithm for randomly calculating the day of the week,
given a particular date? E.g., July 4, 2006 = Wednesday. I need to do this
in JavaScript and for some reason (too much wine last night?) I can't get
brain engaged.
