Perfect, thanks mate. Date object is always one of those things I've used but never sat down and studied the workings of because it was low on the priority list. Good to finally understand it a bit better.

I've always had a little trouble with Date, but now I understand everything. Great tutorial!

Great Tutorial bro! Keep it up.

Also to those who is looking for the mm/dd/yyyy 00:00 format you can skip to 15:50

Thanks matey, great tutorial... I’d be real interested to know the justification behind zero basing the month and not the day etc. Must have been a committee decision ;o)

new Date("some-random-string-09") returns Sat Sep 01 2001 00:00:00 GMT+0530 instead of invalid date. but if I do "new Date("some-random-string") " it returns Invalid date. Is there a way to validate a string whether it is a valid date string or not ?

[saltech]

This is cool

But I'm looking for a one that will append a date after a post eg.

How can I show today's real date without time there, it's annoying me

[andrewporter]

I literally just want someone to show me how to get the date to update in real time WITHOUT the time stamp that is all. I can't find out how anywhere.

You are wrong. It says (Eastern European Summer Time).
Just kidding...
