How to get current time with jQuery

Question

The following returns time in microseconds, for example 4565212462.

alert( $.now() );

How do I convert it to a human readable time format,

Answer 1

I use moment for all my time manipulation/display needs (both client side, and node.js if you use it), if you just need a simple format the answers above will do, if you are looking for something a bit more complex, moment is the way to go IMO.
