Javascript variable

[W-Conti]

Hello!

I have this var
myVar=new Date(2003,2,12,17,18,12);

alert(myVar)
returns "Wed Mar 12 17:18:12 PST 2003"

Is it possble to get the literal string
"new Date(2003,2,12,17,18,12)"
instead of the formed date?

All the best.

Uh, yes. You can redefine the toString() method for it, because that is what is used to format the date for alerting.var d = new Date(2003,2,12,17,18,12);
d.toString = function()
{
var a = [this.getYear(),this.getMonth(),this.getDate(),this.getHours(),this.getMinutes(),this.getSeconds()];
return "new Date(" + a.join(",") + ")";
}
alert( d );Or prototype it for all date objectsDate.prototype.toString = function()
{
var a = [this.getYear(),this.getMonth(),this.getDate(),this.getHours(),this.getMinutes(),this.getSeconds()];
return "new Date(" + a.join(",") + ")";
}
