Returns an array of the names of the months or days of the week, depending on the client's user preferences and calendar.
navigator.globalization.getDateNames(successCallback, errorCallback, options);
Returns the array of names to the successCallback
with a properties
object as a parameter. That object contains a value
property with an Array
of String

If there is an error obtaining the names, then the errorCallback
executes with a GlobalizationError
object as a parameter. The error's expected code is GlobalizationError.UNKNOWN\_ERROR
.
The options
parameter is optional, and its default values are:
{type:'wide', item:'months'}
The value of options.type
can be narrow
or wide
.
The value of options.item
can be months
or days
.
When the browser is set to the en\_US
locale, this example displays a series of twelve popup dialogs, one per month, with text similar to month: January
:
navigator.globalization.getDateNames( function (names) { for (var i = 0; i < names.value.length; i++) { alert('month: ' + names.value[i] + '\n'); } }, function () { alert('Error getting names\n'); }, { type: 'wide', item: 'months' } );
