Basic JavaScript Date and Time Functions
You'll learn two basic techniques:
How to create what's called a date object.
How to extract information from that date object; the hour, minute, month, year, and so forth.
A complete working example of what you'll learn here is near the end of this tutorial.
How To Create What's Called a Date Object
When a date object is created, it is stored in what's called a variable. A variable is simply the name of a place in memory that can contain information. In our example, we'll call that variable "now" because it's a good name for the current date and time.
This is how you create a date object and store it in a variable:
var now = new Date();
The "new Date()" part of the above statement creates the date object. The "var now =" part causes the date object to be stored in the variable named "now".
