I created a clock to be placed in the header of my website. The time is not displaying a zero for minutes < 10. For example if the time is 10:50, it will only show 10:5 ,I found a solution but unsure of how to implement it. Also if there is a better method please share.

 var current;
window.onload = function () {

    current = new Date();

    document.getElementById("clock").innerHTML = current.getHours() + ":" +      current.getMinutes();

This is what I need 

                if (minutes < 10)
                minutes = "0" + minutes

and this is the container for my clock

    <span id="clock">&nbsp</span>

    Since you’re likely to run into presentational issues in the future along the same lines, I’d recommend picking a favorite string formatting function for Javascript.

    Some examples:

    Then you can do something like "{0:00}:{1:00}".format(current.getHours(), current.getMinutes()) or even better,

    var d = new Date();
var s = d.format("hh:mm:ss tt");
// Result: "02:28:06 PM"
