Hi very new to this but have written a script that will check the date against an array and if it matches an entry will post a happy birthday message, but am having problems with the year part. Users havn't given me the year of birth only day and month but I can't get it to work without putting the year either 2005 or 2006 if birthday has already happened.

What do I need to take out or change in order for it to ignore any year (or prefrebly not need the year)

Here is the scrpit I have and thanks in advance for your help

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">


</SCRIPT>

<script>
document.write(dateMsg());
</script>

I wrote this for another poster a while back. Feel free to use it.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function dateMessage()
{
var special_days=new Array();

\\******************************************************
\\ Add dates and messages here. Add as many as you like.
\\******************************************************

special_days[0]=new Array('Today is cool.','6/1/2005');
special_days[1]=new Array('It\'s one day after I got this script.','6/2/2005');
special_days[2]=new Array('Yay! Presents!','12/25/2005');
special_days[3]=new Array('Mmmm. Turkey.','11/25/2005');

\\******************************
\\ Don't edit below here
\\******************************

var now=new Date();
var m=now.getMonth()+1;
var d=now.getDate();
var y=now.getYear();
var dt=m+"/"+d+"/"+y;

for(var i=0;i<special_days.length;i++)
{
if(special_days[i][1]==dt)
{
var str=special_days[i][0];
}
}
document.getElementById('msg').innerHTML=str;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="dateMessage();">
<span id="msg"></span>
</body>
</html>

Yes, I do have an idea. Why don't I lay off the crack, and put my comment tags the right way. :o

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function dateMessage()
{
var special_days=new Array();

//******************************************************

special_days[2]=new Array('Yay! Presents!','12/25/2005');
special_days[3]=new Array('Mmmm. Turkey.','11/25/2005');
