@WimOmbelets - the question that you referenced to shows 31st Dec 2013 as 53rd week. But actually its 1st week. Can you please explain? — Praful Bagai, Oct 28 '13 at 09:11

function getWeekNumber(d) {
    // Copy date so don't modify original
   var d = new Date(d);
    d.setHours(0,0,0);
    // Set to nearest Thursday: current date + 4 - current day number
    // Make Sunday's day number 7
    d.setDate(d.getDate() + 4 - (d.getDay()||7));
    // Get first day of year
    var yearStart = new Date(d.getFullYear(),0,1);
    // Calculate full weeks to nearest Thursday
    var weekNo = Math.ceil(( ( (d - yearStart) / 86400000) + 1)/7)
    // Return array of year and week number
    return [d.getFullYear(), weekNo];
}

This code seem to work:

Date.prototype.getWeek = function() {
    var onejan = new Date(this.getFullYear(),0,1);
    return Math.ceil((((this - onejan) / 86400000) + onejan.getDay()+1)/7);
}
