Jquery Datetime format, Get month, Day, Time

Get month name instead of number

var months = [ "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
               "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" ];

var selectedMonthName = months[$("#datepicker").datepicker('getDate').getMonth()];

var monthName = $.datepicker.formatDate('MM', $("#datepicker").datepicker('getDate'));



Other example

Date.prototype.getMonthName = function(lang) {
    lang = lang && (lang in Date.locale) ? lang : 'en';
    return Date.locale[lang].month_names[this.getMonth()];
};

Date.prototype.getMonthNameShort = function(lang) {
    lang = lang && (lang in Date.locale) ? lang : 'en';
    return Date.locale[lang].month_names_short[this.getMonth()];
};

Date.locale = {
    en: {
       month_names: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'],
       month_names_short: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
    }

};


One Another Example

Date.prototype.monthNames = [
    "January", "February", "March",
    "April", "May", "June",
    "July", "August", "September",
    "October", "November", "December"
];

Date.prototype.getMonthName = function() {
    return this.monthNames[this.getMonth()];
};
Date.prototype.getShortMonthName = function () {
    return this.getMonthName().substr(0, 3);
};

// usage:
var d = new Date();
alert(d.getMonthName());      // "October"

alert(d.getShortMonthName()); // "Oct"
