Answer 1

jQuery is JavaScript.

Answer 2

jQuery is just a Javascript library. It doesn't have any special methods for handling dates, so it's no help for you in that aspect.

The only thing that it can help you with is to display the date once you have formatted it into a string. Example:

var formattedDate = SomeMethodToGetTheFormattedDate();
$('#IdOfElementForDisplayingDate').text(formattedDate);
