rated 0 times [ 62] [ 1] / answers: 1 / hits: 38466 / 13 Years ago, wed, july 27, 2011, 12:00:00

I am trying to get the LocaleDateString and the LocaleTimeString which that would be toLocaleString() but LocaleString gives you GMT+0100 (GMT Daylight Time) which I wouldn't it to be shown.

Can I use something like:

timestamp = (new Date()).toLocaleDateString()+toLocaleTimeString();

Thanks alot

You can use the local date string as is, just fiddle the hours, minutes and seconds.

This example pads single digits with leading 0's and adjusts the hours for am/pm.

function timenow() {

  var now = new Date(),

    ampm = 'am',

    h = now.getHours(),

    m = now.getMinutes(),

    s = now.getSeconds();

  if (h >= 12) {

    if (h > 12) h -= 12;

    ampm = 'pm';

  }



  if (m < 10) m = '0' + m;

  if (s < 10) s = '0' + s;

  return now.toLocaleDateString() + ' ' + h + ':' + m + ':' + s + ' ' + ampm;

}

console.log(timenow());
