how do you format this date type in javascript

Question

how do you format a date into the format 30-Apr-10 in javascript?

Answer 1

There are a few libraries out there for this, you can use something like Date Format (under 4kb completely uncompressed), then your usage would be like this:

var currentDateString = new Date().format("dd-mmm-yy");

Though, if possible, I'd stick to 4-digit years :)
