You can test this script in this example.
• To add this script in a web page, include the following code in the location where you want to display the form for this script:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
// Get the day of the week - coursesweb.net/javascript/
// array with the name of the month
var month = new Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");

// array with the name of the days
var weekday = new Array("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday");

var startyear = "1900";      // first year in select list
var endyear = "2050";      // last year in select list

// adds in #weekday the selected date, and the name of the day
function getWeekDay() {
  // get the values of the selected date
  var month = document.daydate.smonths.options[document.daydate.smonths.selectedIndex].value;
  var day = document.daydate.sdays.options[document.daydate.sdays.selectedIndex].value;
  var year = document.daydate.birthyear.options[document.daydate.birthyear.selectedIndex].value;

  var obdate = new Date(year,month,day);           // object for selected date
  var nday = obdate.getDay();                     // the number of the day in the week

  document.getElementById('gweekday').innerHTML = 'The name of the day in: <i>'+day+'-'+(month*1 +1)+'-'+year+'</i> is: <b>'+ weekday[nday]+'</b>';
