1. Change the colon to a semi-colon.
2. Implement the method.

This question is so bad it isn't even funny. But at least you know how to ment so I am going to take a real shot at helping you.

Use this library: http://code.google./p/datejs/

Date().next().january().third().Monday();

http://www.google./search?sitesearch=www.w3schools.&as_q=getThirdMondayInJanuary

maybe if you changed your code to (not tested):

getThirdMondayInJanuary():  // this is working!

Here is a function to get the third Monday in January of any year as a Date:

function getThirdMondayInJanuary(year) {
  var jan1 = new Date(year, 0, 1), d = jan1.getDay();
  return new Date(year, 0, (d<2?16:23)-d);
}
