var month   mydate getMonth       month  in integer 0-11  var year   mydate getFullYear       year   Then all you would need to have is an array of months   var months     Jan    Feb    Mar           And then to show it   alert months month           year

You can certainly format the date yourself    var mydate   new Date form startDate value   var month     January    February    March    April    May    June    July    August    September    October    November    December   mydate getMonth     var str   month         mydate getFullYear      You can also use an external library  such as DateJS   Here s a DateJS example    lt script src  http   www datejs com build date js  type  text javascript  gt  lt  script gt   lt script gt     var mydate   new Date form startDate value      var str   mydate toString  MMMM yyyy       window alert str    lt  script gt

Using the Datejs library  this can be as easy as   Date parse  05 05 2010   toString  MMMM yyyy                parse date             convert to                                    string with                                    custom format
