How to get date in format 2009/12/30?

Answer 1

Nice formatting add-in: http://blog.stevenlevithan.com/archives/date-time-format.

With that you could write:

var now = new Date();
now.format("yyyy/mm/dd");

Answer 2

Use the Date get methods.

var dateobj= new Date() 
var month = dateobj.getMonth() 
var day = dateobj.getDate()
var year = dateobj.getFullYear()
document.write(month + "/" + day + "/" + year)

Answer 3

var month = dateObj.getUTCMonth();
var day = dateObj.getUTCDay();
var year = dateObj.getUTCFullYear();

newdate = year + "/" + month + "/" + day;

or you can set new date and give the above values
