Get the first and last date of the previous month in JQuery

Question

I have this script,

 var today = new Date();
 var dd = today.getDate();
 var ffffd = today.getDate()-1;
 var ffffdd = today.getDate()-2;

 var mm = today.getMonth()+         


        

Answer 1

What I have guessed is if current month is February then your output should be 1,31 because January's first day and last day is 1 and 31. So if that is the case then

var toDay = new Date();
var myDate = new Date(2016,toDay.getMonth()-1);
Fri Jan 01 2016 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)

This will be assigned with the first day of the previous month.

Also, for the second case

var myDate = new Date(2016, toDay.getMonth());
myDate = new Date(myDate -1);
Sat Jan 31 2015 23:59:59 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)

You can just use myDate to find whatever you want.
