JS Date Notes

## [To get first and last day of the month in js](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13571700/get-first-and-last-date-of-current-month-with-javascript-or-jquery)
  
  var date = new Date();
  var firstDay = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), 1);
  var lastDay = new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth() + 1, 0);
  
  
## For Month Select

function dateDropdown(select) {
		var today  = new Date();
		var months = ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sept','Oct','Nov','Dec'];

		var month  = today.getMonth();

		for (var i = month; i < months.length; i++) {
			select.options[select.options.length] = new Option(months[i] + ' '+ today.getFullYear(),months[i]);
		};

		// for (i in months) {	
		// 	select.options[select.options.length] = new Option(months[i] + ' '+ today.getFullYear(),months[i]);
		// };
		// select.options[today.getMonth()] = new Option(months[today.getMonth()]+ ' '+ today.getFullYear(), months[today.getMonth()], true, true) //select today's month

		today.setFullYear(today.getFullYear() + 1);
		for (i in months) {
			if (months[i] == months[today.getMonth()]) { break; };
			select.options[select.options.length] = new Option(months[i] + ' '+ today.getFullYear(),months[i]);
		};
	}
	
	dateDropdown(document.getElementById('your-element-id'));

Moment JS is also nice for handling JS Dates
