How to convert time milliseconds to hours, min, sec format in JavaScript?

Question

I have the time as milliseconds, but I want the time after conversion like 00:00:00.

Ex: In milliseconds=86400000. I want how many hours in that millise

Answer 1

I had the same problem, this is what I ended up doing:

function parseMillisecondsIntoReadableTime(milliseconds){
  //Get hours from milliseconds
  var hours = milliseconds / (1000*60*60);
  var absoluteHours = Math.floor(hours);
  var h = absoluteHours > 9 ? absoluteHours : '0' + absoluteHours;

  //Get remainder from hours and convert to minutes
  var minutes = (hours - absoluteHours) * 60;
  var absoluteMinutes = Math.floor(minutes);
  var m = absoluteMinutes > 9 ? absoluteMinutes : '0' +  absoluteMinutes;

  //Get remainder from minutes and convert to seconds
  var seconds = (minutes - absoluteMinutes) * 60;
  var absoluteSeconds = Math.floor(seconds);
  var s = absoluteSeconds > 9 ? absoluteSeconds : '0' + absoluteSeconds;


  return h + ':' + m + ':' + s;
}


var time = parseMillisecondsIntoReadableTime(86400000);

alert(time);
