JavaScript: Today's Date

OK, it should be simple, but I keep having to look it up. J The following was compiled from these two sources:

<script type="text/javascript">

function getTodaysDate() {

var curdate = new Date()

//  Get the day of the week as a value from 0 to 6

var weekday=new Array(7);

weekday[0]="Sunday";

weekday[1]="Monday";

weekday[2]="Tuesday";

weekday[3]="Wednesday";

weekday[4]="Thursday";

weekday[5]="Friday";

weekday[6]="Saturday";

// Day of the month

var monthname=new Array(12);

monthname[0]="January";

monthname[1]="February";

monthname[2]="March";

monthname[3]="April";

monthname[4]="May";

monthname[5]="June";

monthname[6]="July";

monthname[7]="August";

monthname[8]="September";

monthname[9]="October";

monthname[10]="November";

monthname[11]="December";

var dateString = weekday[curdate.getDay()] + ", " + monthname[curdate.getMonth()] + " " + curdate.getDate() + ", " + curdate.getYear()

alert(dateString)

}
