Re: Date Format

Stephanie,

Thanks for that code... it worked a treat ! I've uploaded a new version to
the same URL...

http://www.artiss71.fsworld.co.uk/date.html

Now, the code isn't quite as efficient as it should be because a couple of
the lines could easily have been concatonated together. How do you put
multiple conditions within an "IF" statement in JS ?

e.g. I'd like to put

if (date == 1 or date == 21) dateName = date + "st";

David.
