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

Two problems here:

1. seven_date is a number, not a date. 29 + 7 = 36
2. getMonth returns a zero based index of the month. So adding one just gets you the current month number.

Answer 2

The simple way to get a date x days in the future is to increment the date:

function addDays(dateObj, numDays) {
  return dateObj.setDate(dateObj.getDate() + numDays);
}

Note that this modifies the supplied date object, e.g.

function addDays(dateObj, numDays) {
   dateObj.setDate(dateObj.getDate() + numDays);
   return dateObj;
}

var now = new Date();
var tomorrow = addDays(new Date(), 1);
var nextWeek = addDays(new Date(), 7);

alert(
    'Today: ' + now +
    '\nTomorrow: ' + tomorrow +
    '\nNext week: ' + nextWeek
);

Answer 3

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 4

You can add or increase the day of week for the following example and hope this will helpful for you.Lets see....

        //Current date
        var currentDate = new Date();
        //to set Bangladeshi date need to add hour 6           

        currentDate.setUTCHours(6);            
        //here 2 is day increament for the date and you can use -2 for decreament day
        currentDate.setDate(currentDate.getDate() +parseInt(2));

        //formatting date by mm/dd/yyyy
        var dateInmmddyyyy = currentDate.getMonth() + 1 + '/' + currentDate.getDate() + '/' + currentDate.getFullYear();
