Javascript, How do I create an array of dates?

Question

I want to make some Javascript code to find all the days up to the current date.

Here is what I have so far:

var titleArray = [
"title1",
"title2",
];

var pictureArray = today.toString();
var thumbArray = today.toString();

var today = new Date();
var dd = today.getDate();
var mm = today.getMonth()+1; //January is 0!
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();

if(dd<10) {
    dd='0'+dd
}

if(mm<10) {
    mm='0'+mm
}

today = yyyy+'_'+mm+'_'+dd;

$.each(titleArray, function(i, val) {
    $(".dailySection").append('<a href="images/daily/'+pictureArray+'.jpg" title="'+val+'"><img src="images/thumbs/'+thumbArray+'.jpg"></a>');
});

Create an array, then use push(). You should also remember that you cannot reference today before it is instantiated, so pictureArray and thumbArray need to get moved. Besides, unless you plan on doing something more than have each of them hold onto the same variable, I suggest getting rid of them.

Also, I believe today should already be a string by the time you call toString() on it.

var titleArray = [
    //a bunch of already-made and validated date strings
];

var myArray = [];

var today = new Date(); //it's a date!
var dd = today.getDate();
var mm = today.getMonth()+1; //January is 0!
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();

if(dd<10){
    dd='0'+dd;
} 

if(mm<10){
    mm='0'+mm;
} 

today = yyyy+'_'+mm+'_'+dd; //now it's a string

/* 
Unnecessary? Just use titleArray[i] 
var pictureArray = today;
var thumbArray = today;
*/

titleArray.push(today);

$.each(titleArray, function(i, val){
    $(".dailySection").append('<a href="images/daily/'+val+'.jpg" title="'+val+'"><img src="images/thumbs/'+val+'.jpg"></a>');
});
