title: day of the year to date in a loop
body: <p>I am trying to get date from day of the month in a loop.  The code works for the first few days, and from then on it is returning random dates.  </p>
  
  <p>Any help here?</p>
  
  <pre><code>var now = new Date();
  var initDate = new Date(now.getYear() + 1900, 0);
  
  for (var i = 1 ; i &lt;366 ; i++) {
      var day = dateFromDay(i, initDate);
      document.write(" Day " + i + " : " + day);
      document.write("&lt;br&gt;");
  }
  
  function dateFromDay(day, initDate) {
      var months = [ "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", 
                     "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec" ];
  
      var cur = new Date(initDate.setDate(day));
      cur = months[cur.getMonth()] + " " + cur.getDate();
      return cur;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>...
  ...
  Day 29 : Jan 29
  Day 30 : Jan 30
  Day 31 : Jan 31
  Day 32 : Feb 1
  // From here the output gets messed  up
