            The date parsing and format syntax is a subset of
17
<a href="http://www.php.net/date">PHP's date() function</a>, and the formats that are
18
supported will provide results equivalent to their PHP versions.
19
The following is a list of all currently supported formats:

document.write(dt.format(<em>'Y-m-d'</em>));                         <i>// 2007-01-10</i>
62
document.write(dt.format(<em>'F j, Y, g:i a'</em>));                 <i>// January 10, 2007, 3:05 pm</i>
63
document.write(dt.format(<em>'l, \\t\\he jS of F Y h:i:s A'</em>));  // Wednesday, the 10th of January 2007 03:05:01 PM</code></pre>
64
Here are some standard date/time patterns that you might find helpful.  They
65
are not part of the source of Date.js, but to use them you can simply copy this
66
block of code into any script that is included after Date.js and they will also become
67
globally available on the Date object.  Feel free to add or remove patterns as needed in your code.
68
<pre><code>Date.patterns = {
69
    ISO8601Long:<em>"Y-m-d H:i:s"</em>,
70
    ISO8601Short:<em>"Y-m-d"</em>,
71
    ShortDate: <em>"n/j/Y"</em>,
72
    LongDate: <em>"l, F d, Y"</em>,
73
    FullDateTime: <em>"l, F d, Y g:i:s A"</em>,
74
    MonthDay: <em>"F d"</em>,
75
    ShortTime: <em>"g:i A"</em>,
76
    LongTime: <em>"g:i:s A"</em>,
77
    SortableDateTime: <em>"Y-m-d\\TH:i:s"</em>,
78
    UniversalSortableDateTime: <em>"Y-m-d H:i:sO"</em>,
79
    YearMonth: <em>"F, Y"</em>
80
};</code></pre>
81
Example usage:
82
<pre><code>var dt = <b>new</b> Date();
83
document.write(dt.format(Date.patterns.ShortDate));</code></pre>        </div>

284
format, meaning that months are 1-based (1 = January) and not zero-based like in JavaScript dates.  Any part of

the date format that is not specified will default to the current date value for that part.  Time parts can also
286
be specified, but default to 0.  Keep in mind that the input date string must precisely match the specified format

string or the parse operation will fail.

                Provides a convenient method of performing basic date arithmetic.  This method
321
does not modify the Date instance being called - it creates and returns

a new Date instance containing the resulting date value.

Examples:

                Creates and returns a new Date instance with the exact same date value as the called instance.
396
Dates are copied and passed by reference, so if a copied date variable is modified later, the original
397
variable will also be changed.  When the intention is to create a new variable that will not
398
modify the original instance, you should create a clone.
399
Example of correctly cloning a date:
400
<pre><code><i>//wrong way:</i>
401
<b>var</b> orig = <b>new</b> Date(<em>'10/1/2006'</em>);
402
<b>var</b> copy = orig;
403
copy.setDate(5);
404
document.write(orig);  <i>//returns <em>'Thu Oct 05 2006'</em>!</i>
405
 
406
<i>//correct way:</i>
407
<b>var</b> orig = <b>new</b> Date(<em>'10/1/2006'</em>);
408
<b>var</b> copy = orig.clone();
409
copy.setDate(5);
