Question

I have a jQuery script that receives a string in milliseconds inside a parameter, like this:

params.tweetDate='77771564221';

What I need to do is to create a jQuery function that will be able to format this milliseconds string in a USA time, like 10.00 AM or 10.00 PM.

Is there a jQuery function that is able to do this?

Please help.

Thanks

There is Date object in pure javascript, no jQuery needed.
http://www.javascriptkit.com/jsref/date.shtml

Example:

var time = new Date(params.tweetDate),
h = time.getHours(), // 0-24 format
m = time.getMinutes();
// next just convert to AM/PM format (check if h > 12)
