dateObj.getDate() 

The required dateObj reference is a Date object.

Remarks

To get the date value using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), use the getUTCDate method.

The return value is an integer between 1 and 31 that represents the date value in the Date object.

Example

The following example illustrates the use of the getDate method.

function DateDemo(){
   var d, s = "Today's date is: ";
   d = new Date();
   s += (d.getMonth() + 1) + "/";
   s += d.getDate() + "/";
   s += d.getYear();
   return(s);
}
