javascript - toLocaleDateString() is not returning dd/mm/yyyy format

Question

Hi I have used toLocaleDateString() to display a date from a rss feed,t its not showing dd/mm/yyyy format in all browser, safari and mozila its showing differently but chrome it is showing correctly.

Answer 1

toLocaleDateString is intended to provide a human-readable format, according to the rules of the user's own computer. For instance, if my computer is set to French, it might include the day name in French.

toLocaleDateString is NOT a reliable way of getting the format you want. Instead, do this:

var dateobj = new Date();
function pad(n) {return n < 10 ? "0"+n : n;}
var result = pad(dateobj.getDate())+"/"+pad(dateobj.getMonth()+1)+"/"+dateobj.getFullYear();
