    <p>I'm using Jquery's datepicker plugin (which works fine). Then I need to extract the "day of the week" from the picked date. </p> <p>When using <code>foo.substring(0,3)</code> to assign the first three characters of the <code>datepicker('getDate')</code> I get: <code>TypeError foo.substr is not a function</code>. </p> <pre><code>$(function () { $("#textDatepicker").datepicker(); }); function selectedDay() { var foo = $("#textDatepicker").datepicker('getDate'); //IF USED.... alert(foo); //retuens (for example)..... //"Thu Jul 18 00:00:00 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)" var weekday = foo.substr(0, 3) document.getElementById("dayofweek").innerHTML = "The day of the week selected is: " + weekday; } &lt;head&gt; &lt;script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="https://jquery-blog-js.googlecode.com/files/SetCase.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css"/&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; Select Date:&amp;nbsp;&lt;input type="text" id="textDatepicker" onchange="selectedDay();"&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;span id="dayofweek"&gt;Selected day of week replaces this&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/body&gt; </code></pre> <p>I have also pasted at: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/Pvz4E/2/" rel="nofollow">jsfiddle</a></p> <p>Any help would be appreciated..

    2. COAre you 100% sure that it's a string, but not an object, that you're trying to take the substring of?

    3. COMy guess would be that .substr only works on strings and you are trying to work on a jQuery object.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
