var d = new Date();

var curr_date = d.getDate();

I need the date from the field, not today's current date, eg: field says 02/31/2010, the name of the record will have February.

Hello.

Try to use following script:

if (crmForm.all.<date field>.DataValue == null)

return;

var monthnames = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"];

var name = monthnames[crmForm.all.<date field>.DataValue.getMonth()];

I need a simplified version of this script that gets the month, in number format, from a specific date field named in the function.

If you want this as a function try something like this;

// ** This code takes createdon date, passes to a function.

var anyDate = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("createdon").getValue();

var returnedMonth = ReturnMonth(anyDate);

alert(returnedMonth);

// ** A simple function to return month number

function ReturnMonth(aDate) {

aDate = new Date(aDate);

// 1 is added as months start at 0!

return aDate.getMonth() + 1;

}

function getDateMonth()

{

//get date

var date = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_date").getValue();

var d = new Date(date);

//show Month in alert window

Xrm.Utility.alertDialog("Month is : "+ (d.getMonth()+1));

}

Note : The index position of getMonth() method starts from 0. So to complete all the 12 months we need to add 1 into it. Otherwise for December month the output would have been 11 instead of 12.

Thanks,

Sam

Hi BeWood,

var date = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(yourDateField).getValue();

var objDate = new Date(date),

locale = "en-us",

month = objDate.toLocaleString(locale, { month: "long" });

Xrm.Page.getAttribute(YourRecordFieldName).setValue(month);

//alert(month);

Thank you,
