im using the script below to display todays date. Could someone tell me
how to alter this script so that is displays the date 10 days in the
future? So, if its 01-Jan-06 today, it should actually display
10-Jan-06. Thanks ...

function getDateString(oDate)
{
// Use today as default value.
if (oDate == null)
oDate = new Date();

var m = oDate.getMonth() + 1;
var d = oDate.getDate();

if (m < 10)
    m = "0" + m;

    if (d < 10)
        d = "0" + d;

    // ISO 8601 date (YYYY-MM-DD).
    return oDate.getFullYear() + "-" + m + "-" + d;
}

it can be smth like this:

var dtToday = new Date();
var iMillisecondsPerDay = 24*60*60*1000;
var dtTenDaysAfter = new Date(dtToday .valueOf()+10*iMillisecondsPerDay);
var sTenDaysAfter = getDateString (dtTenDaysAfter);

voila :)

Signature

sincerely, ermouth
