Answer 1

Say in your HTML you have:

<input id='intime' type='text' name='intime'>

Then you can set it with:

$('#intime').val(new Date());

Answer 2

Use the Date Object. See "15.9.2 The Date Constructor Called as a Function" in the ECMAScript standard for more info.

Answer 3

It sounds like you're after a better UI way to go about this. There are many more date than time widgets out there, but there are time pickers available, my personal favorite is this here: jQuery.timepicker, give it a look.

It's jquery UI Themeable, and if you need a more specific time you can still type in the box, so it works both ways :)
