Hello I am trying to use the following code which is a mish mash of "lifted code" but it keeps pumping out todays date and time.
I am trying to get the date for the first Tuesday of every month at 19:00.
I am using W3C School Try-it for testing purposes.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function displayDate()
{
var myDate = new Date();
myDate.setHours(19, 00, 0, 0);
myDate.setYear(2013);
myDate.setDate(1);
myDate.setMonth();
//Find Tuesday
var tue = 2;
while(myDate.getDay() != tue) {
myDate.setDate(myDate.getDate() + 1);
}
document.write(myDate);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>My First JavaScript</h1>
<p id="demo">This is a paragraph.</p>
<button type="button" onclick="displayDate()">Display Date</button>
</body>
</html>

<==Update==>
I have use your code which works well but need to factor in after the First Tuesday has happened for the next month, I have tried this if statement but breaks.
function getTuesday() {
var datenow = new Date();
var d = new Date(),
month = d.getMonth(),
tuedays= [];
d.setDate(1);
// Get the first Monday in the month
while (d.getDay() !== 2) {
d.setDate(d.getDate() + 1);
}
// Get all the other Tuesdays in the month
while (d.getMonth() === month) {
tuedays.push(new Date(d.setHours(17,00,00,00)));
d.setDate(d.getDate() + 7);
}
If (d.getDate() >= datenow.getDate)
{
d.setMonth(d.getMonth() + 1);
document.write(tuedays[1]);
}
Else
{
document.write(tuedays[1]);
}
}
