Please Help - Java Date/Countdown Query

[desktop_doodle]

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

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the code you posted is javascript... no? Javascript != Java(this is the Java Forums, not Javascript Forums ) Have you tried w3schools?

Yes,
I'm sorry - you're absolutely right. I have posted in error, thinkin that this was a javascript forum. My apologies. And to answer yuor question, yes I have tried W3 - its usually my first port of call for any queries, but to no avail.
