dato format

<\'%= WeekDayName(WeekDay(strDate)) %>
And
<\'%= FormatDateTime(strDate, 4) %>

<%=time%> extraxts time only.

<%=DayOfWeek(Dato) & \" @ \" & FormatDateTime(Dato, vbLongTime)%>

If i recall correctly ..

it doesn´t require any database changes !

sone:> given that he wrote \"dato\" and not Date i assume he has pulled this from a database, thus he cannot use Time to get the time from the date string.

hey again

tdaugaard/  i tried your idea and got this
Microsoft VBScript runtime error \'800a000d\'

Type mismatch: \'DayOfWeek\'

/unrealcore_new/admin/news_main_news.asp, line 72



hey cape
do I just change <%=dato%>
to
<\'%= WeekDayName(WeekDay(strDate)) %>
im not quite sure what you mean ?

guzzie

guzzie:> yeah ... mine didn\'t work :-(

I tried yours to cape
and all it did was show the line you gave me ?
Guzzie

tda// should I maybe use javascript
of is there a funchion one should use ??
any thoughts

Nope !
Set A varible(StrDate) to <%=Date%>
<\'%= WeekDayName(WeekDay(StrDate)) %>
Then it works !

//cape
Im not quite sure how I make a variable
is it like this

<%
StrDate = \" & Dato & \"
%>
?????
thanks

Like this
StrDate = Rs.Fields(\"DATO\").Value
and
then
<%= WeekDayName(WeekDay(StrDate))%>

if this helps any
what I am trying to do is this
have my database show the day of the week and the time
if the next item from the database is from the same day then only the time gets shown and so on and so forth ?

Well ok !
But doesn´t the above work `?

//cape hey there

I just tried what you wrote and it only showed the day of the week ? and not the time
guzzie :)

Yes - That´s right !

and <\'%= FormatDateTime(strDate, 4) %> will give you the time !!

hmmm
I write it like this
<%= WeekDayName(WeekDay(StrDate))%> <%= FormatDateTime(strDate, 4) %>

and all my database entries get the same day
torsdag  and the same time 00:00
sniff
Guzzie

Do this !
While Not Rs.EOF
StrDate = Rs.Fields(\"DATO\").Value
....<%= WeekDayName(WeekDay(StrDate))%> and so on...
Rs.MoveNext()
Wend
....

btw using Wend is not nessacery
I tried that and it didnt work
but without it it did
thanks very much
Guzzie
