rated 0 times [ 20] [ 5] / answers: 1 / hits: 77202 / 12 Years ago, sat, october 6, 2012, 12:00:00

I'm trying to get a jquery or java-script code for displaying the current month and year in a div, but unable so far. I mean I want to display the current month and year in this format:October 2012 so that every month I don't need to edit it or anything.

I saw many questions here, but none shows how to display the variable in a div.

Any idea how to accomplish that?

Your help and ideas are much appreciated

JavaScript doesn't natively implement strftime, so you'll have to do something a bit less elegant:

window.onload = function() {

    var months = ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'];;

    var date = new Date();



    document.getElementById('date').innerHTML = months[date.getMonth()] + ' ' + date.getFullYear();

};

I'm assuming that you have an element with an id of date somewhere in your HTML.
