That's d/m/Y, not m/d/Y, though. – slikts Oct 08 '09 at 09:04
I assume it's the US way of doing it, m/d/Y – Svish Jun 22 '10 at 10:46

US dates style is weird. It does my head in. I stick with YYYY-MM-DD. – TRiG Jun 23 '10 at 16:56

This would work:

[date.getMonth() + 1, date.getDay(), date.getFullYear()].join('/')

date.getMonth() returns from 0-11 so you need to add 1 to it – TheVillageIdiot Oct 08 '09 at 09:01

Check out moment.js! It's a really powerful little library for working with Dates in JavaScript.

Using moment.js...

var today = moment(new Date());
today.format("M/D/YYYY");                  // "4/11/2012"
today.format("MMMM D, YYYY h:m A");        // outputs "April 11, 2012 12:44 AM"

// in one line...
moment().format("M/D/YYY");                // "4/11/2012"
moment().format("MMMM D, YYYY h:m A");     // outputs "April 11, 2012 12:49 AM"

Another example...

var a = moment([2012, 2, 12, 15, 25, 50, 125]);
a.format("dddd, MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a"); // "Monday, March 12th 2012, 3:25:50 pm"
a.format("ddd, hA");                       // "Mon, 3PM"

Also, its worth mentioning to checkout date.js. I think the two libraries complement each other.

You can try this.

<input type="button" value="display" onclick="display()" />
<input type="text" id="dis" /><br />

<script type="text/javascript">
function display(){
var x="You have clicked";
var d=new Date();
var date=d.getDate();
var month=d.getMonth();
month++;
var year=d.getFullYear();
document.getElementById("dis").value=date+"/"+month+"/"+year;
}
</script>

getYear() - Returns the year, as a two-digit or a three/four-digit number, depending on the browser. Use getFullYear() instead !! (from w3schools.com) – TheVillageIdiot Oct 08 '09 at 09:02

Your best option for all users (internationally) is toLocaleDateString.

var date = new Date("2007-02-25 01:00:00"); // for some reason a time is needed
var dateString = date.toLocaleDateString();
console.log(dateString); // outputs 2/25/2007
