Question

var d = new Date();
    var today_date = d.getDate() + '/' + month_name[d.getMonth()] + '/' + d.getFullYear();

This is how I am getting a date. It works with a slight problem. For todays date 7th of June 2011 it returns 7/11/2011, what i want it to return is 07/11/2011?

Anyone know how?

Answer 1

Like so:

("0"+1).slice(-2);  // returns 01
("0"+10).slice(-2); // returns 10

Complete example:

var d = new Date(2011,1,1); // 1-Feb-2011
var today_date =
    ("0" + d.getDate()).slice(-2) + "/" +
    ("0" + (d.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + "/" + 
    d.getFullYear();
// 01/02/2011
