Inserting Date into INPUT field using jQuery

Question

I have 4 INPUT fields for month, day, hour, minute.

<input type="text" id="month" name="month" value="" />
   <input type="text" id="day" name="day" value="" />
  <input type="text" id="hour" name="hour" value="" />
  <input type="text" id="minute" name="minute" value="" />

I am trying to get CURRENT time using JS and insert into each field using jQuery.

Can you help me to work out the right code to accomplish this?

Answer 1

$(document).ready(function() {
   var now = new Date();
   $("#month").val(now.getMonth() + 1); //Months in JS start from 0
   $("#day").val(now.getDate());
   $("#hour").val(now.getHours());
   $("#minute").val(now.getMinutes());
});

See this MDN page for more information on the Date object.

Answer 2

meh... for what it's worth: http://jsfiddle.net/V3J8c/1

$("#month").val(months[new Date().getMonth()])
$("#day").val(new Date().getDate())
$("#hour").val(new Date().getHours())
$("#minute").val(new Date().getMinutes())
