Question Name of the day
I need a function that returns the name of the day when I give it a date.
I believe I need a function in the calender class, but can't find it at SUN... maybe this is faster..
example: give_day_name("2002-09-11") returns "wednesday".

Suggestions please!

Erwin

Calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) will return 1 for sunday, 2 for monday, etc. They're actually constants, Calendar.SUNDAY, Calendar.MONDAY, etc.

I'm not sure why it's doing that. Can you tell me what you're trying to do? Maybe there's another way to get the info you want.

I have a listbox in a page, containing dates. The user chooses a date to place an advertisement. To help him, I would like to show the name of the day next to the datre: example rows of the listbox:

17-09-2002 Tuesday
18-09-2002 Wednesday
.
.
22-09-2002 Sunday

Just change the code I gave you here [http://forums.devshed.com/showthrea...&threadid=43703] to have a different format (all the E's). Something like "MM-dd-yyyy EEEEEEEEEE", maybe.
