Date issue

Ok, this should be very simple but I am stuck.

I want to get the Month, Day and Year for the current day.

Here's my script:

var

tDate = Date();

app.alert("tDate is: " + tDate );

// get today's month

var M = tDate.getMonth() + 1; // 0 based

app.alert("M is : "

+ M );

var D = tDate.getDate(); // get today's day

var Y = tDate.getFullYear(); // get today's year

I get the tDate, which is correct, but I can't get the month, day and year. Please help.

Thanks!

Try this way.

var tDate = new Date();
app.alert("tDate is: " + tDate );

try{
var M = tDate.getMonth()+1; // 0 based - // get today's month
var D = tDate.getDate(); // get today's day
var Y = tDate.getFullYear(); // get today's year
app.alert("M: "+ M +"D:" +D + "Y:"  +Y);
}
catch(e){app.alert(e)}
