Returns an array of either the names of the months or days of the week according to the client's user preferences and calendar.
navigator.globalization.getDateNames(successCB, errorCB, options);
It returns the array of names to the successCB callback with a properties object as a parameter. That object should have a value property with an Array of Strings. That array will be the names starting from either the first month in the year or the first day of the week, depending on the option selected.
If there is an error obtaining the names, then the errorCB callback is invoked with a GlobalizationError object as a parameter. The expected code for this error is GlobalizationError.UNKNOWN_ERROR.
options.type can be ‘narrow’, or ‘wide’. options.item can be ‘months’, or ‘days’.
The default options are {type:'wide', item:'months'}. The options parameter is optional.
In the case when the browser is set to the en_US locale, this should display a series of 12 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'}
);
