Question

Simple Javascript + Html help please?

Answer 1

Hey, in my html file I have this:

Birthday: <input type="date" id="bDate"/> <br/>

Answer 2

and in my javascript file, I have this:

var birthIn = document.getElementById("bDate").value;
var dateParts = birthIn.split('-');
var yearIn = dateParts[3];

Answer 3

Now, whenever I try to get the year out of the yearIn variable, it gives not a number. My method works fine for the day and month, I can get those no problem, but the 3rd part of the array isn't working.

Help please?

Answer 4

If it's giving you "not a number", what is it giving you? Just from looking at this quickly, I would say that maybe you are trying to get the year from an array index that doesn't exist. If your date is "01-10-1999" and you are splitting this on the '-' character, you will be adding 3 objects to your array. [0] = month; [1] = day; [2] = year; So, I would try changing the following:
var yearIn = dateParts[3];
to:
var yearIn = dateParts[2];
and see if that works.
