Find day of date using JQuery

Question

How can I get day of given date using jQuery? In c# I do it like this

 if(MyDate.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday)

How can i do this in jQuery?

Answer 1

You could use JavaScript's Date.getDay()

  $(document).ready(function() {

    var d = new Date();

    alert(d.getDay());
  } );

As stated you don't need jQuery to use this but I've wrapped it in jQuery for your pleasure. As stated by nc3b the result its 0 based where 0 is Sunday.

Answer 2

Using javascript, you can find the day of week: Date.getDay(); Say you have something like this:

Date d = new Date(...);
d.getDay(); // returns day of week.

Careful as it's zero-based so it will return from 0 to 6.
