Help with syntax, please?

[Cloy]

I'm working on a script that loads a page, and then jumps to an anchor
(based on the date). Everything works except getting the anchor format
correctly.

Here is the code...

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var date = new Date();
var d = date.getDate();
var day = (d < 10) ? '0' + d : d;
var m = date.getMonth() + 1;
var month = (m < 10) ? '0' + m : m;
var year = date.getFullYear();
onload=document.location='# + month + day + year';
// -->
</script>

Here is what the URL should look like...
http://www.someurl.com/thisfile.htm#02072007
(on 2/7/2007)

This is what I'm getting instead...
http://www.someurl.com/thisfile.htm# + month + day + year

Can someone help me with the syntax of the onload= line?

Thanks, in advance!

Everything inside the single quotes in that last line is the value
of the string literal that's assigned to document.location.
No operations are evaluated inside string literals.
That should be enough of a clue.

yes, thats true

this is what he means in layman terms

change onload=document.location='# + month + day + year';
to
onload=document.location='#' + month + day + year;
