I'm working on editable PDF, and I have date field where I went to populate the date in the following format;

dddd mmm/dd/yy. Friday Aug/24/18.

I need it to display the day of week, I have tried amending the date options below but the date field refuses to play ball, keeps throwing all sorts of errors?

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, can anybody help?

This code inserts creates a string with a full date in one months time in Spanish

var meses = new Array ("Enero","Febrero","Marzo","Abril","Mayo","Junio","Julio","Agosto","Septiembre","Octubre","Noviembre","Diciembre");
var diasSemana = new Array("Domingo","Lunes","Martes","Miércoles","Jueves","Viernes","Sábado");
var d=new Date();
var f = new Date(d.getFullYear(), d.getMonth()+1,d.getDate());
if(!this.getField("Validez").readonly) {
this.getField("Validez").value = diasSemana[f.getDay()] + ", " + f.getDate() + " de " + meses[f.getMonth()] + " de " + f.getFullYear();}

It should be useful. I have it in Document Javascripts

I am an old style hacker. I love ugly hacks. My priority is that it works. I do not care about anything else. I am a damn good programmer and my code actually is maintainable but my only care is that it works. I never touch what works .

To clarify this is sentence below extracted from the PDF. Each of the Friday Aug/24/18 blocks shown should be a calendar drop-down that user can select the date from and then it be displayed in the format above. How do I do that? How do I make that work.
