HTML Display Current date

Question

I am using website builder called 'clickfunnels', and they don't support feature that would allow me to display current date. But, I can add custom html to it.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to show on website current date in format: dd/mm/yyyy

Currently I've tried this:

<p id="date"></p> <script> document.getElementById("date").innerHTML = Date(); </script> 

And this works, but it displays date likes this:

Sat Sep 12 2015 16:40:10 GMT+0200 (Timezone.... )

Answer 1

Here's one way. You have to get the individual components from the date object (day, month & year) and then build and format the string however you wish.

n =  new Date();  y = n.getFullYear();  m = n.getMonth() + 1;  d = n.getDate();  document.getElementById("date").innerHTML = m + "/" + d + "/" + y;

<p id="date"></p>

Answer 2

Use Date::toLocaleDateString.

new Date().toLocaleDateString() = "9/13/2015" 

You don't need to set innerHTML, just by writing

<p> <script> document.write(new Date().toLocaleDateString()); </script> </p> 

will work.

P.S.

new Date().toDateString() = "Sun Sep 13 2015"
