How to get current date in jquery?

Question

I want to know how to use the Date() function in jQuery to get the current date in a yyyy/mm/dd format.

Answer 1

function GetTodayDate() {
   var tdate = new Date();
   var dd = tdate.getDate(); //yields day
   var MM = tdate.getMonth(); //yields month
   var yyyy = tdate.getFullYear(); //yields year
   var currentDate= dd + "-" +( MM+1) + "-" + yyyy;

   return currentDate;
}

Very handy function to use it, Enjoy. You do not require any javascript framework. it just works in with plain javascript.
