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/

Answer 1

In One line:

new Date(Date.now() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)

Answer 2

Using the Date object's methods will could come in handy.

e.g.:

myDate = new Date();
plusSeven = new Date(myDate.setDate(myDate.getDate() + 7));

Answer 3

Without declaration

To return timestamp

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

To return date

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

Answer 4

var future = new Date(); // get today date
future.setDate(future.getDate() + 7); // add 7 days
var finalDate = future.getFullYear() +'-'+ ((future.getMonth() + 1) < 10 ? '0' : '') + (future.getMonth() + 1) +'-'+ future.getDate();
console.log(finalDate);

Answer 5

var days = 7;
var date = new Date();
var res = date.setTime(date.getTime() + (days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));

var d = new Date(res);
var month = d.getMonth() + 1;
var day = d.getDate();

var output = d.getFullYear() + '/' +
    (month < 10 ? '0' : '') + month + '/' +
    (day < 10 ? '0' : '') + day;

$('#txtEndDate').val(output);

Answer 6

Something like this?

var days = 7;
var date = new Date();
var res = date.setTime(date.getTime() + (days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
alert(res);

convert to date again:

date = new Date(res);
alert(date)

or alternatively:

date = new Date(res);

// hours part from the timestamp
var hours = date.getHours();

// minutes part from the timestamp
var minutes = date.getMinutes();

// seconds part from the timestamp
var seconds = date.getSeconds();

// will display time in 10:30:23 format
var formattedTime = date + '-' + hours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds;
alert(formattedTime)
