Shorter version: var monthNames = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" ]; var d = new Date(); document.write("The current month is " + monthNames[d.getMonth()]); shareimprove this answer edited Mar 4 at 14:37 Maxime Lorant 12.7k103049 answered Oct 29 '09 at 12:45 Jesper 92k16149211
