var vHour = addZero(myDate.getHours());
var vMinute = addZero(myDate.getMinutes());
var vSecond = addZero(myDate.getSeconds());
var myDateString = vFormat.replace(/dd/g, vDay).replace(/MM/g, vMonth).replace(/y{1,4}/g, vYear)

Hi Klbaiju,

You do not need to write this much of bigger function, just use following code snippet

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

// function to add number of days (accepts number of days to add)

        function AddDays(days) {

            var thisDate = new Date();

            thisDate.setDate(thisDate.getDate() + days);

            return thisDate;

        }



// call your function like this

        alert(AddDays(8));

</script>

Hi Mr Sheo narayan,

your code is working fine.the problem is it is taking system date.and display in MMM-dd-yyyy format.
eg: sat sep 04 2010 11:34:35 GMT +0530(india standard time).
i don't need this format.
my reqiurement is date is coming from a textbox.
eg:- 26/07/2010

days from this statement

var day1=document.getElementById('<%=Hiddenpackage.ClientID %>').value;

i want to use your code like this

alert(addDays(day1)

eg:- if the date is 28/08/2010 and day1=5
the added date should be 02/09/2010

what i have to change in your code.

it is very urgent for me
