How to get the day from a particular date using JavaScript

Question

I am new to JavaScript. My requirement is that T want to pop up a message on particular days (like Sunday, Monday...) all through when a date is selected.

I tried

Answer 1

var date = new Date();
var day = date.getDay();

day now holds a number from zero to six; zero is Sunday, one is Monday, and so on.

So all that remains is to translate that number into the English (or whatever other language) string for the day name:

var name = ["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"][day];
