JavaScript checking if date is US federal Holiday
This JavaScript function will check if date is US federal Holiday. It can be easily adopted for any other country or periodical events list.
| Code: |
function check_holiday (dt_date) {
// check simple dates (month/date - no leading zeroes)
var n_date = dt_date.getDate(),
n_month = dt_date.getMonth() + 1;
var s_date1 = n_month + '/' + n_date;
if ( s_date1 == '1/1' // New Year's Day
|| s_date1 == '6/14' // Flag Day
|| s_date1 == '7/4' // Independence Day
|| s_date1 == '11/11' // Veterans Day
|| s_date1 == '12/25' // Christmas Day
) return true;
// weekday from beginning of the month (month/num/day)
var n_wday = dt_date.getDay(),
n_wnum = Math.floor((n_date - 1) / 7) + 1;
var s_date2 = n_month + '/' + n_wnum + '/' + n_wday;
if ( s_date2 == '1/3/1' // Birthday of Martin Luther King, third Monday in January
|| s_date2 == '2/3/1' // Washington's Birthday, third Monday in February
|| s_date2 == '5/3/6' // Armed Forces Day, third Saturday in May
|| s_date2 == '9/1/1' // Labor Day, first Monday in September
|| s_date2 == '10/2/1' // Columbus Day, second Monday in October
|| s_date2 == '11/4/4' // Thanksgiving Day, fourth Thursday in November
) return true;
// weekday number from end of the month (month/num/day)
var dt_temp = new Date (dt_date);
dt_temp.setDate(1);
dt_temp.setMonth(dt_temp.getMonth() + 1);
dt_temp.setDate(dt_temp.getDate() - 1);
n_wnum = Math.floor((dt_temp.getDate() - n_date - 1) / 7) + 1;
var s_date3 = n_month + '/' + n_wnum + '/' + n_wday;
if ( s_date3 == '5/1/1' // Memorial Day, last Monday in May
) return true;
// misc complex dates
if (s_date1 == '1/20' && (((dt_date.getFullYear() - 1937) % 4) == 0)
// Inauguration Day, January 20th every four years, starting in 1937.
) return true;
if (n_month == 11 && n_date >= 2 && n_date < 9 && n_wday == 2
// Election Day, Tuesday on or after November 2.
) return true;
return false;
}

This funciton will not carry over the holiday on the next working day if date falls on the weekend. Sometimes they do that, sometimes they don't. If
there is a rule behind this we'll add it to the code.
