here is what I'm trying to get response to:
If I use this function and the dtStr is not a date what will happen?
it should give exception?
How do I intercept exception, handle the exception to give alert popup message instead of Javascript error?
function addDays(dtStr,roll) {
var dtTmp = new Date(dtStr);
iTmp1 = dtTmp.getTime();
iTmp2 = iTmp1 + (roll * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
var dt = new Date(iTmp2);
var DD = dt.getDate();
DD=""+ DD;
if ((DD.length) < 2) DD = "0" + DD;
var MM = dt.getMonth()+1;
MM=""+ MM;
if ((MM.length) < 2) MM = "0" + MM;
var str = MM + '/' + DD + '/' + dt.getFullYear();
return str;
}
