    Resolved get an error with getTime() method

    Ok so this is for school i do not want the answer i just need to be pointed in the right direction. i have been reading as much as i can to get this figured out but i am running out of time to get this done and i still have plenty of other work to do.

    This is the error i get
    uncaught TypeError object has no method 'getTime'

    I cant figure out what is causing this. i have removed the line and the error moves to the next one down which is the getFullYear method. I am thinking i screwed something up big time but i just cant see it.


    Code:
    function yearly(calendarDay) { 
    if (calendarDay == "") {
		calendarDay = currentTime.getday();
	}else{
		calendarDay = calendarDay;
	}
	
	var currentTime = calendarDay.getTime();
	var thisYear = calendarDay.getFullYear(); 
	
	document.write("<table id='yearly_table'><tr>");
	document.write("<th id='yearly_title' colspan='4'>");
	document.write(thisYear());
	document.write("</th>");
	document.write("</tr>");
	
	var monthNum = -1;
	
	for (var i=1; i<3; i++){
		document.write("<tr>");
		
		for(var j=1; j<4; j++){
			monthNum++;
			calendarDay.setDate(1);
			calendarDay.setmonth(monthNum);
			writeMonth(calendarDay, currentTime);
		}
		document.write("</tr>");
	}
	document.write("</table>");
}

function writeMonthCell(calendarDay, currentTime) {
	document.write("<td class='yearly_months'>");
	writeMonth(calendarDay, currentTime);
	document.write("</td>");
}

    You need to show how you're calling the yearly function and how you derive the parameter you pass to it.

      the page from the book just says to to call the function itself with a date of june 7, 2011 so here is the file it goes into to

        That function is expecting a Date object:
        Code:
        yearly( new Date( "june 7, 2011" ) );
