I think the subject says it all.

But what i'm looking for is a way to add months on to a date.

i.e i have a variable set to 60 months i want to add this to a date

for example

• 01/01/2006 which in vbscipt i do useing dateadd which in this case would return 01/01/2011 not 01/61/2006

Is the a function or a simple way of doing this in javascript

Ok so this is what i've come up with.

function date_addmonth(strDate,duration)
{
var mydate = strDate
var day =(mydate.substring(0,2))
var month = (mydate.substring(3,5))
var year = (mydate.substring(6,10))
alert(day)
alert(month)
alert(year)
month = Number(month) + duration
var testdate = new Date(month +"/" + day +"/" + year )
alert(testdate)
}

This function reads in a date in a string format dd/mm/yyyy i.e English date not US date. I then use substring to seperate out the day month year.

Add the duration and then build up a new date with the day month swicth round
