javascript date + 7 days

Question

What's wrong with this script?

When I set my clock to say 29/04/2011 it adds 36/4/2011 in the week input! but the correct date should be 6/5/2011

var d = new Date(); var curr_date = d.getDate(); var tomo_date = d.getDate()+1; var seven_date = d.getDate()+7; var curr_month = d.getMonth(); curr_month++; var curr_year = d.getFullYear(); var tomorrowsDate =(tomo_date + "/" + curr_month + "/" + curr_year); var weekDate =(seven_date + "/" + curr_month + "/" + curr_year); { jQuery("input[id*='tomorrow']").val(tomorrowsDate); jQuery("input[id*='week']").val(weekDate);     } 

Answer 1

var date = new Date();  date.setDate(date.getDate() + 7);    console.log(date);

And yes, this also works if date.getDate() + 7 is greater than the last day of the month. See MDN for more information.

Answer 2

Without declaration

To return timestamp

new Date().setDate(new Date().getDate() + 7) 

To return date

new Date(new Date().setDate(new Date().getDate() + 7))
