Javascript Date Plus 2 Weeks (14 days)

Question

I use this to get the date:

var currentTime = new Date() var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1 var day = currentTime.getDate() var year = currentTime.getFullYear() alert(month + "/" + day + "/" + year); 

How can I add 2 weeks ? So instead of showing 10/13/2011, to show 10/27/2011 etc

Here is the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/25wNa/

I want the one input to have +14 days and the other +21

Note: I'd like the format to be > 10/13/2011 <.

Answer 1

12096e5 is a magic number which is 14 days in milliseconds.

var fortnightAway = new Date(Date.now() + 12096e5); 

jsFiddle.

Answer 2

var currentTime = new Date(); currentTime.setDate(currentTime.getDate()+14);
