Description
In this article, I am going to write JQuery code examples to get current DateTime, UTC DateTime, current Date, current Date with specific date time format.
Summary
- Get current local Date Time in JQuery
- Get current UTC (Universal) Date Time in JQuery
- Get current Date in JQuery (without time part)
Get current local Date Time in JQuery
Note: We need add 1 with return value dNow.getMonth(), because the getMonth() method returns the month (from 0 to 11), January is 0, February is 1, and so on.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<script>
function ShowLocalDate()
{
var dNow = new Date();
var localdate= (dNow.getMonth()+1) + '/' + dNow.getDate() + '/' + dNow.getFullYear() + ' ' + dNow.getHours() + ':' + dNow.getMinutes();
$('#currentDate').text(localdate)
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Get current local Date in JQuery</h1>
<label id="currentDate">This is current local Date Time in JQuery</p>
<button type="button" onclick="ShowLocalDate()">Show Local DateTime</button>

function ShowUTCDate()
{
var dNow = new Date();
var utc = new Date(dNow.getTime() + dNow.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000)
var utcdate= (utc.getMonth()+1) + '/' + utc.getDate() + '/' + utc.getFullYear() + ' ' + utc.getHours() + ':' + utc.getMinutes();
$('#currentDate').text(utcdate)
}
</script>
