Add number of days from current day using datepicker

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I have two datepicker text boxes (jquery ui).
The req is when I select a particular date on textbox1, the other textbox automatically populates 3 days prior to the date selected on textbox1 (javascript).

Right now I am using the below function:

C#

function getdate() {
        var tt = document.getElementById('txtDate').value;
       
        

         date      = new Date(tt);
            next_date = new Date(date.setDate(date.getDate() + 1));
            formatted = padNumber(next_date.getUTCMonth() + 1) + '/' + padNumber(next_date.getUTCDate() + 3) + '/' + next_date.getUTCFullYear()
            document.getElementById('follow_Date').value = formatted;
        }

But when the 30th day comes, it adds 30 + 3 and shows 33 instead of going to the next month.
Please help. :)

Solution

Use setDate()[^] function.

JavaScript

function getdate() {
    var tt = document.getElementById('txtDate').value;

    var date = new Date(tt);
    var newdate = new Date(date);

    newdate.setDate(newdate.getDate() + 3);

    var dd = newdate.getDate();
    var mm = newdate.getMonth() + 1;
    var y = newdate.getFullYear();

    var someFormattedDate = mm + '/' + dd + '/' + y;
    document.getElementById('follow_Date').value = someFormattedDate;
}
