How to Show the Date Using JavaScript

To use the dd/mm/yy format ( e.g. ):

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var date = new Date();
var d  = date.getDate();
var day = (d < 10) ? '0' + d : d;
var m = date.getMonth() + 1;
var month = (m < 10) ? '0' + m : m;
var yy = date.getYear();
var year = (yy < 1000) ? yy + 1900 : yy;

document.write(day + "/" + month + "/" + year);
 //--></script>

To use the Date/Month/Year format ( e.g. ):

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
function makeArray() {
for (i = 0; i<makeArray.arguments.length; i++)
this[i + 1] = makeArray.arguments[i];
}

var months = new makeArray('January','February','March','April','May',
'June','July','August','September','October','November','December');
var date = new Date();
var day = date.getDate();
var month = date.getMonth() + 1;
var yy = date.getYear();
var year = (yy < 1000) ? yy + 1900 : yy;

document.write(day + " " + months[month] + " " + year);
//--></script>
