Previous /Next Day

[weezerboy]

I have a page where the day and date is displayed like this.

   < Previous Day      -  Wednesday January  23, 2013   >    Next Day

How do I make it so when the userclicks on < Previous Day    link that they go to Tuesday January  22, 2013 and when they lick on > Next Day they go to Thursday January  24, 2013  etc?

Make them links with url variables.

[weezerboy]

Yes. What would the links be?

It's tough to provide good answers when we don't know all the details.  Are you passing these pages to a database to pull info for that day?  Do you just need a date selector?

I threw this together in a few minutes (and I'm sure it looks it!)

<cfset somedate = [date of whatever your current page is]>

<cfset yesterday = dateadd("d",-1,somedate)>

<cfset tomorrow = dateadd("d",1,somedate)>

<cfoutput><a href="page.cfm?date=#dateformat(yesterday,"yyyymmdd")#">&lt; Previous Day</a> - #dateformat(somedate,"mmmm dd, yyyy")# - <a href="page.cfm?date=#dateformat(tomorrow,"yyyymmdd")#">Next Day &gt;</a></cfoutput>

But "somedate" would have to come from somewhere.  Your database?  Hard to know without some more info.
