jQuery Get Todays Date dd/mm/yyyy

jQuery Get Todays Date dd/mm/yyyy

JavaScript code snippet to get the current date in the format dd/mm/yyyy. The month is formatted to prefix with a zero (ie “04″) for single month figures. Also, here is how you can get a future date using jQuery

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

var fullDate = new Date() console.log(fullDate); //Thu May 19 2011 17:25:38 GMT+1000 {}    //convert month to 2 digits var twoDigitMonth = ((fullDate.getMonth().length+1) === 1)? (fullDate.getMonth()+1) : '0' + (fullDate.getMonth()+1);    var currentDate = fullDate.getDate() + "/" + twoDigitMonth + "/" + fullDate.getFullYear(); console.log(currentDate); //19/05/2011

Note: the console.log() commands are just for use with firebug.

If the above code doesn’t work try this (thanks pnilesh):

1 2 3 4

var fullDate = new Date();console.log(fullDate); var twoDigitMonth = fullDate.getMonth()+"";if(twoDigitMonth.length==1)  twoDigitMonth="0" +twoDigitMonth; var twoDigitDate = fullDate.getDate()+"";if(twoDigitDate.length==1) twoDigitDate="0" +twoDigitDate; var currentDate = twoDigitDate + "/" + twoDigitMonth + "/" + fullDate.getFullYear();console.log(currentDate);
