I have some friends' birthdays and want to separate them as follows :
- birthdays which fall within the current week (within remaining days of current week starting from current day).
- birthdays which fall within the current month (within remaining days of current month starting from current day).
- birthdays which fall within the next month.
So all I want to know how to test each date in javascript to see if it falls within the remaining days of the current week/current month/next month.
N.B: say I have those dates in m/d/Y(06/29/1990) format.
Thanks

Reset to default 8Convert your date and current time to Date
object and use it for parison. Some dry coding:
var now = new Date()
if (
(check.getFullYear() == now.getFullYear()) &&
(check.getMonth() == now.getMonth()) &&
(check.getDate() >= now.getDate())
) {
// remanining days in current month and today. Use > if you don't need today.
}
var nextMonth = now.getMonth() + 1
var nextYear = now.getFullYear()
if (nextMonth == 12) {
nextMonth = 0
nextYear++
}
if (
(check.getFullYear() == nextYear) &&
(check.getMonth() == nextMonth)
) {
// any day in next month. Doesn't include current month remaining days.
}
var now = new Date()
now.setHours(12)
now.setMinutes(0)
now.setSeconds(0)
now.setMilliseconds(0)
var end_of_week = new Date(now.getTime() + (6 - now.getDay()) * 24*60*60*1000 )
end_of_week.setHours(23)
end_of_week.setMinutes(59)
end_of_week.setSeconds(59) // gee, bye-bye leap second
if ( check >=now && check <= end_of_week) {
// between now and end of week
}
the code Using the Parse Date is
var selecteddate = '07/29/1990';
var datestr = selecteddate.split('/');
var month = datestr[0];
var day = datestr[1];
var year = datestr[2];
var currentdate = new Date();
var cur_month = currentdate.getMonth() + 1;
var cur_day =currentdate.getDate();
var cur_year =currentdate.getFullYear();
if(cur_month==month && day >= cur_day)
{
alert("in this month");
}
else
{
alert("not in this month");
}
