Try:

<script type="text/javascript">
function showDays(f){
var selS = f.startDay;
var selE = f.endDay;
var days = [];
var i = 0;
while (i<7 && !selS.options.selected){
i++;
}
while (!selE.options.selected){
days.push(selE.options[i++].text);
i = i%7;
}
days.push(selE.options.text);
f.dayList.value = days.join('\n');
}
</script>
<form action="">
<div>
<label for="startDay">Start day:
<select name="startDay">
<option value="0" selected>Monday
<option value="1">Tuesday
<option value="2">Wednesday
<option value="3">Thursday
<option value="4">Friday
<option value="5">Saturday
<option value="6">Sunday

<textarea readonly name="dayList" cols=10
rows=8></textarea>
</div>
</form>

Wow. yours are great.
However, I took a mistake. I mean date not day.SORRY.
Thus, start date is 10/19/2006 and end date is 10/31/2006 Then.
I want to make a list of 10/19/2006, 10/20/2006,....,10/30/2006,
10/31/2006 like this.

Try the Date object.

I.e.

var d = new Date(2006,9,19);
var d2 = new Date(2006,10,31);
var aDates = [];

do
{
aDates.push(d.toString());
d.setDate(d.getDate()+1);
}
while (d <= d2);

alert(aDates.join("\r\n"));

Please do not top post here, reply below trimmed quotes of what you are
replying to.

And your attempt at this looks like... ? The date format you have
shown will likely be misunderstood by the vast majority of web users,
it is peculiar to only one country that I know of.

As a hint, get a date from some input elements. Validate the format
and that they generate a valid date, then use them to create new date
objects. Add one to the start date until you reach the end date,
collecting the dates along the way. Then write the list of dates
you've generated to some element - maybe a text area, span or p
element.

The script I posted gives you a start, but you will have to make
significant changes.

There are some date routines here:

Good plan.
To keep up with the OQ, without using the localized version:

<script type='text/javascript'>

var d = new Date(2006,9,19);
var d2 = new Date(2006,10,31);

while (d <= d2) {
document.write(d.getYear() +
'/' + T(d.getMonth()+1) +
'/' + T(d.getDate()) + '<br>');
d.setDate(1 + d.getDate());
};

function T(x){
return (x < 10) ? "0" + x : x;
};

</script>

To keep up with the OQ, without using the localized version:

<script type='text/javascript'>

var d = new Date(2006,9,19);

var d = new Date("2006/10/19");

is localised internationally, albeit with a non-ISO separator; it avoids
that irritating error of 1 in the month, which is liable to lead to
human error.


As well as the OP not having defined "day", he or she did not indicate
whether "between" means "between" or is intended to be inclusive.
Selection of while-do or do-while loop and of terminal condition should
fix that.

If the dates are supplied as Y M D numbers, rather than in an existing
Object, working in UTC would be faster.

If the dates are supplied as Objects, one must consider whether they may
have non-zero time components, and whether that matters.

The OP gave an example (in a second message):

"Thus, start date is 10/19/2006 and end date is 10/31/2006 Then.
I want to make a list of 10/19/2006, 10/20/2006,....,10/30/2006,
