Determine if a date is a Saturday or a Sunday using JavaScript

Question

Is it possible to determine if a date is a Saturday or Sunday using JavaScript?

Do you have the code for this?

Answer 1

The Date class offers the getDay() Method that retrieves the day of the week component of the date as a number from 0 to 6 (0=Sunday, 1=Monday, etc)

var date = new Date();
switch(date.getDay()){
    case 0: alert("sunday!"); break;
    case 6: alert("saturday!"); break;
    default: alert("any other week day");
}
