Question

I would like to get this format:

2:18:00 pm

Using the sample code from w3Schools.com below, I can get the correct results from IE and FireFox. But when it comes to Chrome, I get the 24hr clock version where it is simply displayed this way:

14:18:00

In FF

    new Date().toLocaleTimeString()
    //   2:18:00 pm

Answer 1

Use the following javascript code,

<script type="text/javascript">

var d = new Date();
var curr_hour = d.getHours();
var curr_min = d.getMinutes();
var curr_sec = d.getSeconds();
if (curr_hour < 12)
   {
   a_p = "AM";
   }
else
   {
   a_p = "PM";
 }

document.write(curr_hour + ":" + curr_min + ":" 
+ curr_sec+ a_p);

</script>

The o/p would be as you expect,2:18:00 PM
