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

For local time in ISO8601 for SQL TIMESTAMP you could try:

var tzoffset = (new Date()).getTimezoneOffset() * 60000;
var localISOTime = (new Date(Date.now() - tzoffset))
  .toISOString()
  .slice(0, 19)
  .replace('T', ' ');
$('#mydatediv').val(localISOTime);
