Calculate end date from start date and number days to add

[patrickw12950595]

I'm trying to calculate a end date from a start date and number of days to add, both collected via user input. I've read the tutorials relevant and thought I understood how it worked but I can not figure out why my code wont output.

So user enters that the start date is 01/02/03 and it takes 5 days. I need the end date to output 01/07/03. I can't seem to see why it won't.

Here's what I've got:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

var startDate = this.getField("startDate_1").value; // get start date string

var endDate = this.getField("endDate_1"); // define the field the end date will be in

if(startDate.value != ""){

    var dateConverted = util.scand("mm/dd/yy", startDate); // convert string to date object

    var addDays = this.getField("days_1");

    var oneDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;

    var addDayMillis = addDays * oneDay;

    var endMillis = dateStart.getTime() + addDayMillis;

    var calcEndDate = new Date(endMillis);

    endDate.value = util.printd("mm d, yy",calcEndDate);

}

else{

    endDate.value = "----";

}

What did I miss here?

Where did you define dateStart? Where do you use dateConverted?

What have you tried?

[Cale84]

the code up there.. and have this one where I can let a fixed number.. but want to be an input number.. 

var strStart = this.getField("DateStart").value;
if(strStart.length)
{
var dateStart = util.scand("mmm d, yyyy",strStart);
var oneDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
var dueMillis = dateStart.getTime() + 5 * oneDay; 
var dueDate = new Date(dueMillis);
event.value = util.printd("mmm d, yyyy",dueDate);
}
else
event.value = "NA";

Do you mean that instead of 5 days you want to add a number that comes from a field?

That code seems fine to me. What happened when you used it? Did you check the JS Console for errors?
