From the html code i called a function getFirstDay( ) with parameters date, month, year
The first step is to create a dateobject and make calls to the library functions
The functions setFullYear, setMonth, setDate sets the date, month, year we are passing into it.
Two arrays, day_names and month_names are declared to hold the week day names and month names
It’s obvious that the every month starts with a date 1.
So, the setDate(1) sets the date ’1′.
getDay() returns the day
