Leading zeros in minutes

Question

I created a clock to be placed in the header of my website. The time is not displaying a zero for minutes < 10. For example if the time is 10:50, it will only show 10:5 ,

Answer 1

And what is your issue?

var minutes = (current.getMinutes() < 10? '0' : '') + current.getMinutes();

Since you'll have the same problem with hours, wrap it in a small utility function:

function pad(var value) {
    if(value < 10) {
        return '0' + value;
    } else {
        return value;
    }
}

And later simply:

pad(current.getHours()) + ":" + pad(current.getMinutes())
