Can anyone explain the discrepancy in the output below? My code is as follows:
function addDaysToDate( theDate, days ) { var thisDate = new Date( theDate.getTime() + days*24*60*60*1000 ); return new Date( thisDate ); } var dt = new Date( '5/20/2014' ); for (i=0;i<6;i++) { var dt = addDaysToDate( dt, 7 ); console.log( dt + '---' + dt.getMonth() + '/' + dt.getDate() + '/' + dt.getYear() ); } The output generated from that is:
Tue May 27 00:00:00 PDT 2014---4/27/2014 Tue Jun 3 00:00:00 PDT 2014---5/3/2014 Tue Jun 10 00:00:00 PDT 2014---5/10/2014 Tue Jun 17 00:00:00 PDT 2014---5/17/2014 Tue Jun 24 00:00:00 PDT 2014---5/24/2014 Tue Jul 1 00:00:00 PDT 2014---6/1/2014 I have looked at this a number of times, and for the life of my I cannot rationalize why dt.getMonth() shows a month prior to the current month. I have confirmed identical behavior on both Chrome and IE.
