Hi All,

I need to convert the month in number to read month in Words.

I made a javascript function to convert that like below :

C#

function convert(mycontrolclientID)
{
            var ldtDate=mycontrol.value;
            var month=new Array();
            var lstrDay,lstrMonth,lstrYear,lstrMonthinword=1,lstrDate;
            month = ["",'JAN','FEB','MAR','APR','MAY','JUN','JUL','AUG','SEP','OCT','NOV','DEC'];
            lstrDay = ldtDate.substr(0,2);
            lstrMonth = ldtDate.substr(3,2);
            lstrYear = ldtDate.substr(6,4);
            lstrMonthinword = month[lstrMonth];
            lstrDate = lstrDay + "-" + lstrMonthinword + "-" + lstrYear;
            return lstrDate;

}

All Months are properly converting to Words except '08' and '09';

i.e 08-08-2012 returning 08-undefined-2012 or 08---2012;
But 03-11-2012 is converting correctly to 03-NOV-2012;

Any Tips/Suggestions to fix this :)

Hi,

Change this line:

JavaScript

lstrMonthinword = month[lstrMonth];

Into this line:

JavaScript

lstrMonthinword = month[parseFloat(lstrMonth)];

have you checked that,...
when passing date 08-08-2012 it is not being converted as 8-8-2012 because in this case it will split string in wrong way so, month conversion will be wrong

some links... for set date formats using javascript

when you are pass 08 to month[08] it will convert '08' to octal that's why you getting undefined

JavaScript

lstrMonthinword = month[parseInt(lstrMonth, 10)];
