how do I print the current day of the week e.g. Monday

Question

when I do this:
var d = new Date();
d1 = d.getDay();
document.write(d1);
I get the day of the week in number form( using zero notation with sunday = 0).

Answer 1

In JS you will get the result by number only. So here take a manual array of days.. it's simple.

var d = new Date();
var i = d.getDay();
var days =["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];
var daysName = days [i];

document.write(daysName);

Answer 2

I know this method of using an array. I was actually looking for an inbuilt JS Date() method. Thanks though.

Answer 3

No, there is no such way to get this.
