how to display a date as 2/25/2007 format in javascript, if i have date object

how to displ开发者_StackOverfloway a date as 2/25/2007 format in javascript, if i have date object

function formatDate(a) //pass date object
{
  return (a.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + a.getDate() + "/" +  a.getFullYear();
}

This would work:

[date.getMonth() + 1, date.getDay(), date.getFullYear()].join('/')

(date.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + date.getDay() + "/" + date.getFullYear();

Check out moment.js! It's a really powerful little library for working with Dates in JavaScript.

Using moment.js...

var today = moment(new Date());
today.format("M/D/YYYY");                  // "4/11/2012"
today.format("MMMM D, YYYY h:m A");        // outputs "April 11, 2012 12:44 AM"

// in one line...
moment().format("M/D/YYY");                // "4/11/2012"
moment().format("MMMM D, YYYY h:m A");     // outputs "April 11, 2012 12:49 AM"

Another example...

var a = moment([2012, 2, 12, 15, 25, 50, 125]);
a.format("dddd, MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a"); // "Monday, March 12th 2012, 3:25:50 pm"
a.format("ddd, hA");                       // "Mon, 3PM"

Also, its worth mentioning to checkout date.js. I think the two libraries complement each other.

You can try this.

<input type="button" value="display" onclick="display()" />
<input type="text" id="dis" /><br />

<script type="text/javascript">
function display(){
var x="You have clicked";
var d=new Date();
var date=d.getDate();
var month=d.getMonth();
month++;
var year=d.getFullYear();
document.getElementById("dis").value=date+"/"+month+"/"+year;
}
</script>

Your best option for all users (internationally) is toLocaleDateString.

var date = new Date("2007-02-25 01:00:00"); // for some reason a time is needed
var dateString = date.toLocaleDateString();
console.log(dateString); // outputs 2/25/2007
