get number of day in javascript date object

Question

//27 <- today day number
new Date().getDay() = new Date().getUTCDay() //<- 5 (friday)? what?

Do I have to parse the result with .toString() or use something like YUI.Date.format()?

Answer 1

You're looking for .getDate():

new Date().getDate();

.getDay() returns the day number 0 (Sunday) to 6 (Saturday).

Answer 2

The one you are looking for is .getDate(), not .getDay()
