Hi,

I'm trying to write a javascript funtion that would determine the number of days left in a specific month entered by the user. Basically the page will have two TBox where the user will enter the month and the date, than a button to call the final function that determine the days left in that month and will display it in another text box on the page. I just got started but I'm already stuck! I would appreciate any help.

here is my program so far (probably with some errors):

<html>

<head>

<title>Days Left in the Month</title>

//Paolo Zoglianti

//This function will detrmine the total days in the month entered by the user

function daysInTheMonth(month)

{

var monthsDays;

monthsDays=parseInt(window.document.dayForm.monthTBox.value);

if (month==2){

monthsDays=28;

}

else {

if (month==4)||(usersMonth==6)||(month==8)|| (month==11){

monthsDays=30;

}

else {

monthsDays=31;

}

return monthsDays;

}

function determineDaysLeft();

{

var month;

var daysIn;

var daysLeft;

daysIn=parseInt(window.document.dayForm.dateTBox.value);

month=daysInTheMonth(month);

daysLeft = month - daysIn;

//display in text box

window.document.dayForm.daysLeftTBox=daysLeft;

}

</script>

</head>

<body>

Enter a month (1-12):

<br/>

Enter the date (1-31):

<br/>

<br/>

<hr/>

The number of days left in the month is:

<br/>

</form>

</body>

</html>

Thanks!

re: Why shouldn't we coin new words?

I think we should. Especially in the case of creating adverbs from adjectives by adding an 'ly'. For instance, why not create the word xerophilously from xerophilous - things could be said to live xerophilously.

Another example of word that in my opinion should be coined is chalant. Why can we be nonchalant but not chalant?

Seems to show how much intrest the Feds have in all form of communications. This type of messaging would be a way of sending messages in code that would be very hard to, "Break".... Its a Brave New World.

I couldn't read the article because I have to pay 5 dollars for it. Is there any way you could repost the article?

This is presumably just an updated version of Clinton's celebrated <a href="www.angelfire.com/.../onion-vowels.html"> Vowels to Bosnia </a> initiative.

Wordspy is one of my favorite websites - please keep up the great work.

Yes...but does the word "cliche" itself qualify as a cliche?

English is so readily up to everyone to change and to coin another term/word of whether to be added to dictionaries or to be used as a term/jargon among some group of people.

That said, no matter where you are from, there is ENGLISH you can never learn enough of!!

Actually, Paul, that was very humble of you to accept the heat for the way your readers took the article...but no, they are just stupid. This is obviously satire and very amusing, at that.

You really got me with this one -- badly -- as always claim I see thru all the urban legends going around.

Urban Legend is slang for satire?, I think...

Take a look at Beowulf in the original English.

Then have a look at Chaucer. BIG CHANGES!
