Day value from drop down calendar into a text box

Question

I am working on a trip request form and I want to create custom a script that takes the drop down calendar selection and populates the actual day (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.) into a seperate text box. For example, if I dropdown the calendar and select "6/7/2024", a second textbox would generate the actual day of the week. (See the attached form as an example).

From there, I would like weekends and holidays to show up in red text. For example, if the date selected falls on a week day or holiday, all text on that row/line will turn red, indicating that a weekend date was selected. Please let me know if this is possible.

For Saturdays and Sundays, enter the following custom format script into the day fields:

if(event.value=="Saturday" || event.value=="Sunday")

{event.target.fillColor=color.red}

else

{event.target.fillColor=color.black}

For holidays, you would have to list all of the holidays in an array in the previous validation script and have the script look for a match.

Enter the following custom validation script into the date fields and change the corresponding day field names:

var aray=["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"];
this.getField("DayRow1").value="";
if(event.value)
{this.getField("DayRow1").value=aray[util.scand("m/d/yy", event.value).getDay()]}
