VBScript: More Fun with the Date Functions - Figuring Out Which Month it is (Page 6 of 6 )
If you want to print out the name of a month (as opposed to the number, as with the Month() function), you can use the MonthName() function to do so. You can either return the full name or an abbreviated name by adding true to your code. Here is an example of how to use both methods:
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/vbscript">
document.write(MonthName(1))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(2))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(3))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(4))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(5))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(6))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(7))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(8))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(9))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(10))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(11))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(12))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(1,True))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(2,True))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(3,True))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(4,True))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(5,True))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(6,True))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(7,True))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(8,True))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(9,True))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(10,True))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(11,True))& "<br />"
document.write(MonthName(12,True))& "<br />"
</script>
</body>
</html>
And here is the result:
January
February
March
April
May
June
July
August
September
October
November
December
Jan
Feb
Mar
Apr
May
Jun
Jul
Aug
