Please Help - Java Date/Countdown Query
Hi,

I have a bit of simple code which serves to display the current date and also a countdown to Jan 31st and is to remind people to file their tax returns. Here is the code:

Code:
<DIV align=center><H1><SCRIPT language=javascript> <!-- Today = new Date(); TodayYear = Today.getYear(); if (TodayYear < 2000) TodayYear += 1900; // put your date here DateToFind = new Date("January 31, " + TodayYear); difference = DateToFind.getTime() - Today.getTime(); difference = Math.floor(difference / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) + 1; note = "<br> Call us NOW - <strong> 01452 527 000</strong>"; note2 = "Today is "; note3 = "<br><strong>Just "; if (difference < 0) { difference = 365 - difference; TodayYear = TodayYear + 1; note = " +/-1"; } document.write(note2 + Today + note3 + difference + " days</strong> from the deadline for filing your tax return " + note); --> </SCRIPT></H1></DIV>
The code works fine, in that it shows the date and it counts down. The problem is that it displays the date in long format, like this:

Tue Jan 08 2008 11:43:02 GMT+0000 (GMT Standard Time)

How can I edit it so that it only shows up Tuesday, January 8th, 2008 - without the time/GMT etc?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm rather new to javascript. I have tried searching everywhere and can't find anything anywhere to help me change the date display.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks in advance

Mike B
