Question

I wanted to know how to get current date and time and what datatype should i use to store it in websql, sorry for being such a noob…

Answer 1

You could create a Date object and store the numeric value of the date as the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC (negative for prior times).

var today = new Date();
today.getTime();        // returns "1337217238392"

Storing the milliseconds will allow you to read and parse however you like later. Its worth mentioning to check out date.js and moment.js
