Hi,
 
this line makes the trouble:
  cDate = new Date(myDate.getTime() + days*24*60*60*1000);
 
try this: 
function addDays(myDate,days) {
     days=days*24*60*60*1000
     cDate = new Date(myDate.getTime() + days);
     dy = cDate.getDate();
     mn = cDate.getMonth();
     y = cDate.getYear();
     h = cDate.getHours();
     m = cDate.getMinutes();
     s = cDate.getSeconds();
     nDate = mn + "/" + dy + "/" + y + " " + h + ":" + m + ":" + s;
     return nDate;
}
 
must be a js-bug, i can´t see why it didn´t work with your code
Be aware that January is month 0 !

I am trying desperately to get the date in Javascript in EXACTLY this
format: 1/4/2004 5:45 PM 
 
This seems painfully difficult....I have the following 2 functions working,
except the month comes back as 0 all the time.
If the dropdown box called "Priority" is "Normal", I want to add 2 days to
the current date/time, and if Priority is "Emergency" I want to add 1 day to
the current date/time.
 
Here are my functions, why is the month coming back as 0 !!!!???
 
Thanks for any help!
 
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function addDays(myDate,days) {
     cDate = new Date(myDate.getTime() + days*24*60*60*1000);
     dy = cDate.getDate();
     mn = cDate.getMonth();
     y = cDate.getYear();
     h = cDate.getHours();
     m = cDate.getMinutes();
     s = cDate.getSeconds();
     nDate = mn + "/" + dy + "/" + y + " " + h + ":" + m + ":" + s;
     return nDate;
}
function setdueby(){
     var1 = form1.Priority.value;
     if(var1=='Normal'){
     var2 = (addDays(new Date(),2));
     form1.dueby.value=var2;
     }
     if(var1=='Emergency'){
     var3 = (addDays(new Date(),1));
     form1.dueby.value=var3;
 }}
-->
</script>
