current date in javascript

I want current date in dd/mm/yyyy format in javascript

You can get the current date with:

var today = new Date();

Then use the get*** methods to get the day, month and year. Note that getMonth() is 0-based, i.e. 0=January, and use getFullYear() for the year, not getYear().

[rnd me]

Date.prototype.toShort = function () {
    function f(n) {
        return n < 10 ? "0" + n : n;
    }
    return f(this.getDate() ) + "/" + f(this.getMonth() + 1) + "/" +  this.getFullYear()   ;
};

alert((new Date).toShort());//==="25/07/2009"
