Javascript variable / Current Date
Hello, Can someone give me the javascript to display the current date by using a variable? It is similar to the below javascript but I need it to display the date numerically like "06/20/2023" v...
Hi Steve,
You can control the format by adjusting which options you set and what values you provide for them. For example, this set of options will give you 2 digits for the month, 2 digits for the day, and 4 digits for the year:
var options = {month:"2-digit", day:"2-digit", year:"numeric"};
var date = new Date().toLocaleDateString("en-us", options);
You can also skip the options entirely to get numeric values for all three (e.g., "6/20/2023"):
var date = new Date().toLocaleDateString("en-us");
