Hour and Minutes with javascript

Question

I have made this with js:

// time

var date = new Date();

var currentTime = date.getHours() + ':' + date.getMinutes();

document.getElementById('timex').value = currentTime;

This script inserts the hour and minutes in a input.

There is a problem, at 16:06 the time becomes 16:6. And this causes a problem with the html input. The same thing happens at 1am. Become 1:34 and not 01:34.

Check if the value is less than 10, if so, insert a preceding zero. — Reisclef, Apr 02 '17 at 16:03

Try this, simple and works like a charm:

var date = new Date();

var currentTime = ('0' + date.getHours()).slice(-2) + ':' + ('0' + date.getMinutes()).slice(-2);

document.getElementById('timex').value = currentTime;
