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

You might use datejs to do that. Check the FormatSpecifiers, MMMM gives you the month's name:

var objDate = new Date("10/11/2009");
document.write(objDate.toString("MMMM"));

And datejs got that localized for more than 150 locales! See here
