"Age Javascript"

Many thanks to cjh for fixing my table background rollover issue.

Now I'm on to the personal part of my site, which is a single page about me. The rest may be revealed later.

So anyway, what I want is a simple javascript which calculates my age in years. I'm thinking along the lines of my year of birth being set in a variable, even though that variable will not change, and a simple mathematical equation which deducts my year of birth from the current year, resulting in my age.

Would anyone be able to do that for me?

Muchos danke, mes ami. :)

Okie doke. Thanks a lot!

Yup, as Bob said you'd put 10 for october.

Looks like Garin has sorted it out for you by incrementing the month value, so you'd just use 10.

Assuming my birthday is October, would the number for that month be 9 or 10? I know that months in JavaScript go from 0 to 11, not 1 until 12.

Or have you sorted this problem already for me so that I just set the month to 10?

Ah ha! Big mistake Garin, now I know when you were born! Lets see.. the 13th June 198... oh, nevermind =(

Nice code by the way *tempted*

Something like this I think...

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

var BirthDay=13;
var BirthMonth=6;
var BirthYear=1980;

var now=new Date();
var CurrDay=now.getDate();
var CurrMonth=now.getMonth()+1;
var CurrYear=now.getFullYear();
var MyAge=CurrYear-BirthYear-1;
if ((BirthMonth<CurrMonth) || ((BirthMonth==CurrMonth) && (BirthDay<=CurrDay))) {
MyAge++;
}
document.write('My Age is '+MyAge);
</script>

I suppose you can guess to change the 3 variables at the top with your own birthday.
