The following example illustrates the use of the getDay method.
function DateDemo(){
var d, day, x, s = "Today is: ";
var x = new Array("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday");
var x = x.concat("Wednesday","Thursday", "Friday");
var x = x.concat("Saturday");
d = new Date();
day = d.getDay();
return(s += x[day]);
