@Tweak4Jun 20.2007 — What format are you attempting to display?

The code you posted isn't going to do much. today.setDate(today.getDate()) should just return the current date, and by tacking "days" to the front like you did, it will literally return the word "days" in front of some garbled mess, since setDate() doesn't return a "friendly" date format.

@udkadamApr 02.2008 — <script language="JavaScript"><!--

function addDays(myDate,days) {

return new Date(myDate.getTime() + days*24*60*60*1000);

}

alert(addDays(new Date(),-100));

//--></script>
