sysdate function

Max · Sep 2, 2003

I need a little javascript function that returns the date of today in the
format dd/mm/yyyy
example:
September 2, 2003 ==> 02/09/2003

For control reasons, it cannot be 2/9/2003 or 02/9/2003 or 2/09/2003 but
only 02/09/2003

December 14, 2003 ==> 14/12/2003

Thanks

Per the FAQ for this newsgroup, you should look here:
http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/js-dates.htm

You might also consider using the format 2003-12-14, if possible.

while (re.exec(str) != null) {
str = RegExp.$1 + RegExp.$2 + s[RegExp.$3] + RegExp.$4 +

}
return str;
}

document.write(formatDate(new Date(),'dd/MM/yyyy'));

But he specifically requested a little function.

function LZ(x) {return(x<0||x>9?"":"0")+x}

function formatDate(date) {
with (date) return LZ(getDate())+'/'+LZ(getMonth()+1)+'/'+getFullYear()
}

document.write(formatDate(new Date()))

sorry, I don't like non-reusable code.
