I have two INPUT type="text" boxes.

First is Date and second is description.

For date I am using Jquery UI widget 'datepicker' and for description I am using jquery Autocomplete and defined some names

What I want is...If 12/25/YYYY is selected. I want to autocomplete the second text box with Cristmas and vice versa.

How can I do this with javascript?

I have dates and description. If the date is entered, then the description should autocomplete. Like if 12/25/yyyy is selected, then Christmas should automatically be shown?

I tried this, but its not working. Any help?

Your code would be much easier to read, and therefore more likely to generate responses, if it were properly indented.

Look at line 16 and see if you see anything missing.

I tried this, its working with only one value. If I have 'else if' or 'if' for multiple values, its not working.

Look at line 17 and tell me what's wrong, and this time, don't ignore my post.

Why in the world are you doing this $(this).val().substring(0, 5) over and over again? You only need to do it once. Doing it over and over again will make you app slow.

Better script to complete description if the date is entered and date if the description is entered.

function getThirdMondayInFebruary(year) { 
  var d = new Date(); 
  if (year) d.setFullYear(year); 
  d.setMonth(1,15,0,0,0,0); // 15th of Feb 
  d.setDate(d.getDate()+([1,0,6,5,4,3,2][d.getDay()])); //get next Monday
  return (d.getMonth()+1).pad(2)+'/'+d.getDate().pad(2); 
} 
 
function getLastFridayInApril(year) { 
  var d = new Date(); 
  if (year) d.setFullYear(year); 
  d.setMonth(3,25,0,0,0,0); // 25th of April 
  d.setDate(d.getDate()+([5,4,3,2,1,0,6][d.getDay()])); //get next Friday
  return (d.getMonth()+1).pad(2)+'/'+d.getDate().pad(2); 
}

You have so much repeated code in there that is such a waste.
