I just started learning javascript and this is my first problem. I tried this method but it did not work. Please advise how I can use the switch as a function in events. Thanks in advance for your guidance
function lbl() {
switch (new Date().getDate()) {
case 0: {
document.getElementById('show').innerHTML = "sunday";
break;
}
case 1: {
document.getElementById('show').innerHTML = "monday";
break;
}
case 2: {
document.getElementById('show').innerHTML = "tuesday";
break;
}
case 3: {
document.getElementById('show').innerHTML = "wednesday";
break;
}
case 4: {
document.getElementById('show').innerHTML = "thursday";
break;
}
case 5: {
document.getElementById('show').innerHTML = "friday";
break;
}
case 6: {
document.getElementById('show').innerHTML = "saturday";
break;
}
}

</html>The getDate() method returns the day of the month (from 1 to 31).
The getDay() method returns the day of the week (from 0 to 6) for the specified date.
Just switch getDate() to getDay() and your code will work
