Re: Date Format

David,

I think this is what you want.  The concatenation was a great idea.

if (date == 1 || date == 21 || date == 31) dateName = date + "st";
if (date == 2 || date == 22) dateName = date + "nd";
if (date == 3 || date == 23) dateName = date + "rd";
if (date > 3 && date < 21) dateName = date + "th";
if (date > 23 && date < 31) dateName = date + "th";
