Get month name from Date

Question

How can I generate the name of the month (e.g: Oct/October) from this date object in JavaScript?

var objDate = new Date(\"10/11/2009\");

Answer 1

Date.prototype.getMonthName = function() {
    var monthNames = [ "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", 
                       "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" ];
    return monthNames[this.getMonth()];
}

It can be used as

var month_Name = new Date().getMonthName();
