Date.prototype.nextWeek = function(sunday) { this.change("weeks", 1); if (!sunday) { this.monday(); } else { this.sunday() } }; // Sets date representing the start of the given day in last week (default is Monday). Date.prototype.lastWeek = function(sunday) { this.change("weeks", -1); if (!sunday) { this.monday(); } else { this.sunday() } }; _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
