Calculate date from week number in JavaScript

by 
function getDateOfWeek(w, y) {
    var d = (1 + (w - 1) * 7); // 1st of January + 7 days for each week

    return new Date(y, 0, d);
}

This uses the simple week definition, meaning the 20th week of 2013 is May 14.

To calculate the date of the start of a given ISO8601 week (which will always be a Monday)

function getDateOfISOWeek(w, y) {
    var simple = new Date(y, 0, 1 + (w - 1) * 7);
    var dow = simple.getDay();
    var ISOweekStart = simple;
    if (dow <= 4)
        ISOweekStart.setDate(simple.getDate() - simple.getDay() + 1);
    else
        ISOweekStart.setDate(simple.getDate() + 8 - simple.getDay());
    return ISOweekStart;
}

Result: the 20th week of 2013 is May 13, which can be confirmed here.
