I don't get what all that code is doing, but if you want to do as you
say and output the day of the week for a particular input date, then
this code would do it for input fields inYear, inMonth, inDay and output
field dayofweek:

days = new
Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday");
thisdate = new Date(inYear, inMonth-1, inDay);
dayofweek = days[thisdate.getDay()];

hth,
Helen
