jQuery getTime function

Question

is it possible to create a jQuery function so that it gets current date and time? I\'ve been looking around documentation but haven\'t found anything so far...

Answer 1

Annoyingly Javascript's date.getSeconds() et al will not pad the result with zeros 11:0:0 instead of 11:00:00.

So I like to use

date.toLocaleTimestring()

Which renders 11:00:00 AM. Just beware when using the extra options, some browsers don't support them (Safari)
