@Greg: great to hear because you will need all your skills to get the job done. First of all you would need a mechanism to distinct on which Web Part you're working. You could do it for example by retrieving the title (I don't know the exact selectors but these shouldn't be that difficuly to figure out using either the IE developer tools/toolbar or Firebug). Then you would perform the rendering depending on the Web Part type. Of course retrieving the dates from the contents of your Web Parts is specific to your case. Basically it's all about finding the right selectors to get the content out of the page.
Let me know should you have any more questions.

Good Luck!

My only experience with Javascript and JQuery is to add code to a hidden CEWP on a Sharepoint page. So, that is fairly limited.
I would need to format dates differently depending of the webpart they belong to.

@Greg: could you provide me with some more details about what you want to achieve? Is there anything in the article above that you don't understand?

Hi,
I am totally new to JS – bad – but eager to learn – good?
How should I use this code to format dates on a SP page?
