Get current date/time in seconds

Question

How do I get the current date/time in seconds in Javascript?

Answer 1

Based on your comment, I think you're looking for something like this:

var timeout = new Date().getTime() + 15*60*1000; //add 15 minutes;

Then in your check, you're checking:

if(new Date().getTime() > timeout) {
  alert("Session has expired");
}
