How to format $.now() with Jquery

Question

$.now() gives me the time as miliseconds. I need to show it something like hh:mm:ss

How can I do that in Jquery?

Answer 1

new Date().toString().split(' ')[4]

or

new Date().toString().match(/\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}/)[0]

The toString method is basically an alias for toLocaleString in most implementations. This will return the time in the user's timezone as opposed to assuming UTC by using milliseconds if you use getTime (if you use getMilliseconds you should be OK) or toUTCString.
