  How to accurately determine system date and time and store the result in a hidden field?

  Dec 05, 2012 05:23 PM|LINK

  I googled around and found couple of javascript codes to determine current date and time. But I noticed these samples are not returning correct time.
  
  I want javascript code to return accurate date and time in the format: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.
  
  I also want this function to be called in asp.net content form load and store the result in hidden field.
  
  I tried calling the script on content page load, but it doesn't work. But when I bind it with OnClientClick event of a button, it successfully stores in asp.net hidden field.

  Did you try DateTime.Now ?? Try this out in a variable like 

  var time = DateTime.Now;

  Hi,

  Check this sample code - 

  //yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
  var date = new Date();
  var month = date.getMonth();
  month++;
  var temp = date.getFullYear() + "-" + month + "-"+date.getDate() + " " + date.getHours()+":"+date.getMinutes()+":"+date.getSeconds();
  alert(temp);

  Hope it helps u...
