What browser are you using; because I tested in IE, FF, and Chrome and they all show Tuesday?

I am using firefox 10.0.2 version and it is showing Wednesday.

Well I tested in the latest version of FF, which is 15.0.1 and it displays Tuesday. You might want to check the date on your computer and see if it is set to Wednesday. Unless you have some more JS somewhere, that would be changing the day variable; then I do not know what the explanation would be.

hi,

I just checked using chrome, firefox 15.0.1 and IE8, and they all display Thursday.

I like you am new to JavaScript, but i think this code is all good.

As suggested above you may want to test the date on your computer.
