As far as I know, the JavaScript Date object gives the browser's date & time.
Here is a routine I have to showing a time stamp:
function showTimeStamp() {
// show the current date & time in the divider bar
var date = new Date();
var m = date.getMinutes();
var s = date.getSeconds();
// add a zero in front of numbers < 10
if (m < 10) { m = "0" + m; }
if (s < 10) { s = "0" + s; }
// format into "d/m/yyyy h:mm:ss"
var currentDate = date.getDate() + "/" +
(date.getMonth() + 1) + "/" +
date.getFullYear() + " "
+
date.getHours() + ":" + m + ":"
+ s;
$('#timestamp').text("Last step: " + currentDate);
}
The last line uses jQuery to display the time stamp in the tag with
the id "timestamp", but you can also use straight JavaScript:
document.getElementById("timestamp").innerHTML = currentDate;
Note that I have the date formatted in the English/Australian style
(d/m/y), so swap the segments around if you want American dates.
HTH,
