How can I add st,nd,rd,th to date format.. i.e. November 19th, or December 2nd, etc.
Currently, I have following code
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({
altField: "#alternate",
altFormat: "DD, MM d ",
minDate: +0
});
Since formatDate() doesn't have that option.
Edit: Yes, you were right, sorry my answer didn't help you, I'm new to SO. I hope it helps this time :)
Add an onSelect function to datepicker init, something like this:
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
altField: "#alternate",
altFormat: "DD, MM d",
minDate: +0,
onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
var suffix = "";
switch(inst.selectedDay) {
case '1': case '21': case '31': suffix = 'st'; break;
case '2': case '22': suffix = 'nd'; break;
case '3': case '23': suffix = 'rd'; break;
default: suffix = 'th';
}
$("#alternate").val($("#alternate").val() + suffix);
}
});
It adds the suffix to the alternate field each time you select a date.
Chris West has a pretty short and sweet definition for a function which generates ordinals for all integers. On this page he even shows how you can easily use his function to add ordinals to all numbers within a string.
