//        Name: formatDate
//              
// Description: Formats a date using a format string. 
//              d or dd represents the day of the month (eg 1 or 01)
//              m or mm represents the month as a number (eg 1 or 01)
//              mmm or mmmm represents the month as a string (eg Jan or January)
//              y or yy represents the year (eg 99 or 1999)
//              w or ww represents the day of the week (eg Mon or Monday)
//              example: formatDate(myDate, "mm/dd/yy") might look like 01/01/2000
//  Parameters: strFullDate - required - the date to display (a date object)
//          strFormatString - required - a format string
