Hi there,

I am trying to find a html code which allows me to have the month and year displayed for the previous month.

i.e. Actual month = August 2009
displayed month = July 2009

Actual Month January 2010
Displayed month = December 2009

Is it possible to do it with HTML?
Are there any wordpress plugins which would do this?

Look forward to your answers.....

Thanks

Simon

You may also want to ask someone on the wordpress forums.

Simon,

I don't think there's a way to do it with "standardized" HTML (ie code that should work across all browsers and platforms). Proper HTML should only mark up the code. It may be possible with a script of some kind, though where you would find one, I don't know offhand. If you can't find it with a plug-in, you might search for a script.

Hi Simon,
to do what your asking you'll be needing to use JavaScript - you can copy and paste the script I've supplied below to do what your after. This will work in pretty much all cases except when a user has JavaScript disabled in their browser.

Just paste this into the the top of your page somewhere.

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
   var myDate = new Date();
   var months = ['January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December'];
   var m = myDate.getMonth();
   var year = myDate.getYear() + 1900;
   if(m == 0){
      m = 11;
      year = year - 1;
   }else{
      m--;
   }
   var month = months[m];
</script>


And then paste this anywhere in the page you want to display the date

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">document.write(month + ' ' + year);</script>


If you have any trouble or any questions, just post them and I'll get back to you asap.

Just out of interest Simon,
What do you need this for?
