Show current date

I am using the following to get the current date:-

var dateObj = new Date();
var month = dateObj.getUTCMonth() + 1;
var day = dateObj.getUTCDate();
var year = dateObj.getUTCFullYear();
var newdate = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;

If I alert(newdate); it shows:-

3/06/2013

Is there any way I can display this as:-

03/06/2013

Please use the following:

var dateObj = new Date();
var month = ('0' + (dateObj.getUTCMonth() + 1) ).slice( -2 );;
var day = ('0' + (dateObj.getUTCDate() + 1) ).slice( -2 );
var year = dateObj.getUTCFullYear();
var newdate = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;

If you want to avoid using a library, and don't mind an extra line in your JavaScript:

var day = dateObj.getUTCDate(),
    dd = parseInt(day, 10) < 10 ? '0' + day : day;

You can split it and create your own format:

var splitTime = newDate.split("/");
var day = splitTime[0];
var month = splitTime[1];
var year = splitTime[2];

if (day < 10){
    day = "0" + day;
}

var myDate = day + '/' + month + '/' + year;

function padWithZeroes(number, width)
{
    while (number.length < width)
        number = '0' + number;
    return number;
}

Now call day = padWithZeroes(day, 2) (and likewise for the month) before you use it.

With plain Javascript, only manually

if (day < 10) day = "0" + day;
if (month < 10) month = "0" + month;

Using JQuery DateFormat:

$.format.date(dateObj.toString(), "dd/MM/yyyy");
