How to display current month year in JavaScript using div?

Question

Can anyone tell me how to display the current month and year in this format “October 2012” in JQuery or JavaScript code ? 

Answer 1

JavaScript doesn’t have a native strftime. If you have an element with ID of date in your HTML, follow the below code: 

window.onload = function() {

    var months = ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'];;

    var date = new Date();

    document.getElementById('date').innerHTML = months[date.getMonth()] + ' ' + date.getFullYear();

};
