Question

build phone app daily devotional

Building my first phone app using Dreamweaver CC, Visual Studio 2015, and hopefully PhoneGap to pull it all together. Coding with HTML5, CSS, and Javascript.

Goal: create a daily devotional app. Problem: How to have specific text show beneath "today's date"?

Any help and pointers towards tutorials would be much appreciated.

A basic "Quote of the Day" JavaScript.

// JavaScript Document

//**********************

// QUOTE OF THE DAY SCRIPT: Add 31 quotes or inspirational messages to the array below. Each day a new quote will be displayed.

//***********************

var date    = new Date().getDate();

var quote   = new Array();

quote[1]   = "The mind is everything. What we think we become. --Buddha";

quote[2]   = "Adults are just outdated children. --Dr. Seuss";

quote[3]   = "The secret of getting ahead is getting started. --Mark Twain";

etc...

Thank you for responding. Is there a way to pull automatically from a preset list for each day and not just pull randomly? So for example July 4th every year it will be the same inspirational message.

Also, I already have id's on each message.
