Javascript: Finding the First Monday of the Month

Inspired by a PHP version of this found here, here is a Javascript function that takes the number of the month (0-11) and the year and returns the Date object of the first Monday in that month.  I find it useful for determining weeks in the month.

 // get first Monday of the month, useful for determining week durations

 // @param - integer: month - which month

 // @param - integer: year - which year

  function firstMonday (month, year){

 var d = new Date(year, month, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0)

 var day = 0

// check if first of the month is a Sunday, if so set date to the second

 if (d.getDay() == 0) {

 day = 2

 d = d.setDate(day)

 d = new Date(d)

 }

// check if first of the month is a Monday, if so return the date, otherwise get to the Monday following the first of the month

 else if (d.getDay() != 1) {

 day = 9-(d.getDay())

 d = d.setDate(day)

 d = new Date(d)

 }

 return d  

 }

Please let me know if you find it useful.  Enjoy!
