<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I need to add a specific number of days to a date in JQuery. The set Date function is not computing the date correctly.<br />
<br />
The number of days (advdays) to add is 45 or 90 or 120 . <br />
<br />
var advDate = new Date();<br />
var advdays = $(cntlName).val(); <br />
<br />
advDate.setDate( advDate.getDate() + advdays) &nbsp;;<br />
<br />
The computed advDate is never correct. <br />
<br />
This needs to be jQuery since this is a part of a larger validation function. <br />
<br />
Thank you for the help in advance.

JScript is Microsoft's dialect of the ECMAScript standard that is used in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. JScript is implemented as an Active Scripting engine, so it can be "plugged in" to OLE Automation applications that support Active Scripting, such as Internet Explorer, Active Server Pages, and Windows Script Host. It also means such applications can use multiple Active Scripting languages, e.g., JScript, VBScript or PerlScript.
