Set date format javascript dd mm yyyy

I would like to add a current date to a hidden HTML tag so that it can be sent to the server:

How can I add a formatted date to the VALUE attribute?

I hope this is what you want:

const today = new Date[];
const yyyy = today.getFullYear[];
let mm = today.getMonth[] + 1; // Months start at 0!
let dd = today.getDate[];

if [dd < 10] dd = '0' + dd;
if [mm < 10] mm = '0' + mm;

const formattedToday = dd + '/' + mm + '/' + yyyy;

document.getElementById['DATE'].value = formattedToday;

How do I get the current date in JavaScript?

I honestly suggest that you use moment.js. Just download moment.min.js and then use this snippet to get your date in whatever format you want:

$[document].ready[function[] {

     // set an element
     $["#date"].val[ moment[].format['MMM D, YYYY'] ];

     // set a variable
     var today = moment[].format['D MMM, YYYY'];

}];

Use following chart for date formats:

To get current date/time in javascript:

var date = new Date[];

If you need milliseconds for easy server-side interpretation use

var value = date.getTime[];

For formatting dates into a user readable string see this

Then just write to hidden field:

document.getElementById["DATE"].value = value;

By using the value attribute:

var today = new Date[];
document.getElementById['DATE'].value += today;

Use the DOM's getElementByid method:

document.getElementById["DATE"].value = "your date";

A date can be made with the Date class:

d = new Date[];

[Protip: install a javascript console such as in Chrome or Firefox' Firebug extension. It enables you to play with the DOM and Javascript]

You edit an element's value by editing it's .value property.

document.getElementById['DATE'].value = 'New Value';
