myDateObject.customFormat(formatString)
-------------------------------------------------
arguments:
	myDateObject - a JavaScript Date object
	formatString - a string containing one or more tokens to be replaced
	

returns:
	a new string based on formatString, with all valid tokens replaced with
	values from dateObject
	

description:
	Use customFormat(...) to format a Date object in anyway you like.
	Any token (from the list below) gets replaced with the corresponding value.
	

	token:     description:             example:
	#YYYY#     4-digit year             1999
	#YY#       2-digit year             99
	#MMMM#     full month name          February
	#MMM#      3-letter month name      Feb
	#MM#       2-digit month number     02
	#M#        month number             2
	#DDDD#     full weekday name        Wednesday
	#DDD#      3-letter weekday name    Wed
	#DD#       2-digit day number       09
	#D#        day number               9
	#th#       day ordinal suffix       nd
	#hhh#      military/24-based hour   17
	#hh#       2-digit hour             05
	#h#        hour                     5
	#mm#       2-digit minute           07
	#m#        minute                   7
	#ss#       2-digit second           09
	#s#        second                   9
	#ampm#     "am" or "pm"             pm
	#AMPM#     "AM" or "PM"             PM
	

notes:
	If you want the current date and time, use "new Date()".
	e.g.
	var curDate = new Date();
	curDate.customFormat("#DD#/#MM#/#YYYY#");
	

	If you want all-lowercase or all-uppercase versions of the weekday/month,
	use the toLowerCase() or toUpperCase() methods of the resulting string.
	e.g.
	curDate.customFormat("#DDDD#, #MMMM# #D#, #YYYY#").toLowerCase();

	If you use the same format in many places in your code, I suggest creating
	a wrapper function to this one, e.g.:
	Date.prototype.myDate=function(){
		return this.customFormat("#D#-#MMM#-#YYYY#").toLowerCase();
	}
	Date.prototype.myTime=function(){
		return this.customFormat("#h#:#mm##ampm#");
	}

	var now = new Date();
	alert(now.myDate());

	
examples:
	var now = new Date();
	var myString = now.customFormat("#YYYY#-#MM#-#DD#"); 
	alert(myString);
	-->1999-11-19
	
	var myString = now.customFormat("#DDD#, #MMM#-#D#-#YY#"); 
	alert(myString);
	-->Fri, Nov-19-99
	
	var myString = now.customFormat("#h#:#mm# #ampm#"); 
	alert(myString);
	-->4:34 pm

	var myString = now.customFormat("#hhh#:#mm#:#ss#"); 
	alert(myString);
	-->16:34:26

	var myString = now.customFormat("#DDDD#, #MMMM# #D##th#, #YYYY# @ #h#:#mm# #ampm#"); 
	alert(myString);
	-->Friday, November 19th, 1999 @ 4:34 pm
