this function returns previous month and not the current month

var currentdate = new Date();

currentdate.getMonth();

For example, this return 5 instead of 6.

Hi Asekar,

getMonth() method returns the month (from 0 to 11) for the specified date, according to local time.

Thanks for the response. I got the point.

Now what is the best way to get the current month ?

The month number would be : currentdate.getMonth()+1

Are you looking for the month Name (January, ...) ? Do you want it localized ?
