Hi Jim,
(I just trying put up a post, but it doesnt look it went, so im resending
it...sorry if it goes up twice)
I'm having trouble with the add() function. I got the diff() function to work
correctly, but it seems like there might be a bug with the add() function
(unless i'm doing something wrong, which could be the case haha). i'm trying
to add 5 days to today's date (9/27/06). Only business days should make the
new date be Wednesday, Oct 4. But instead it says monday, Oct 2. So it seems
that it still is counting weekends. If I put in to add 6 days however, the
function works correctly. It seems that it still counts the weekends when you
add certain amounts of days. Do you have any idea how this could be fixed?
var numberOfDaysToAdd = 5
var mydate = new Date()
document.write("<br>"+mydate+"<br><br>")
mydate.add(numberOfDaysToAdd, "businessdays", true);
document.write(mydate)
Thanks for the help, Jon
