jsDate

VBScript and VB6 native Date functions emulated in Javascript

About

As a scripting language, Javascript (aka ECMAScript, aka JScript) is extremely powerful, but quite weak with date/time manipulation.  Several types of date/time operations are very difficult to accomplish (and accurately) in Javascript.  VBScript is comparatively very strong in that area, though, with several intrinsic date/time-related functions, like IsDate, CDate, DateAdd, DateDiff, DatePart, MonthName, WeekdayName, and FormatDateTime.  Better yet is VB6's Format function. 

Anyway, after banging my head on the wall for the nth time, I decided to try to re-create those functions in a Javascript include file, called jsDate.  Try it out...
