Here it is..
function showDay()
{
var dayarray=new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thu rsday","Friday","Saturday");

var dt = new Date(document.getElementById("date").value);
document.getElementById("day").value = dayarray[dt.getDay()];
}

you need to call this method when the event occurs for the calendar to show the date in the date field or you can include this into the script that is in the calendar.. which ever is feasible. The "date" field is supposed to be the textbox with date ( I did it for "MM/dd/yyyy" format) and the "day" field is the textbox where you want to display the date.

Logic: initialize the date as a Date object. The Date.getDay() gets you the day starting with 0 for Sunday and so on.

Hope this helps
