you have to declare an array of month like the one mentioned in this [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1643320/get-month-name-from-date-using-javascript) — Anusha, Oct 04 '13 at 05:26
or something like `toDateString()` http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_todatestring.asp — Anusha, Oct 04 '13 at 05:28

Try this:

var d1 = new Date();
var datestring = d1.toDateString().substring(4).split(' ');
var datestr = datestring[0]+' '+parseInt(datestring[1])+', '+datestring[2];

you can try like this.

var d1 = new Date();
var datestring = d1.toDateString().substring(4).split(' ').join(',').replace(',',' ').replace('0','');
alert(datestring);

Try this:

var now =new Date().toDateString();
var date = now.split(' ');
var formattedDate=date[1]+" "+parseInt(date[2])+","+date[3];
document.getElementById("dateofissue").value=formattedDate;

var now = new Date();
var monthNamesL = [ "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
                    "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" ],
    monthNamesS = [ "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun",
                    "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec" ];

var dateFmtd = monthNamesS[now.getMonth()] + ' ' + now.getDay() + ', ' + now.getFullYear();

document.getElementById("dateofissue").value = dateFmtd;

If you are open to use external library then I would prefer to use

Moment.js

moment().format("MMM, D YYYY");  //Oct 4,2013

This will give you the format you need

var now = new Date();
$.datepicker.formatDate("M d,yy", now);
