Hi, Get current date and time in javascrip it is little bit different. Use the below code it is working fine. html code: div id = "digital-clock" > div > Javascript Code: function getDateTime() { var now = new Date(); var year = now.getFullYear(); var month = now.getMonth()+1; var day = now.getDate(); var hour = now.getHours(); var minute = now.getMinutes(); var second = now.getSeconds(); if (month.toString().length == 1) { month = '0' +month; } if (day.toString().length == 1) { day = '0' +day; } if (hour.toString().length == 1) { hour = '0' +hour; } if (minute.toString().length == 1) { minute = '0' +minute; } if (second.toString().length == 1) { second = '0' +second; } var dateTime = year+ '/' +month+ '/' +day+ ' ' +hour+ ':' +minute+ ':' +second; return dateTime; } // example usage: realtime clock setInterval( function (){ currentTime = getDateTime(); document.getElementById( "digital-clock" ).innerHTML = currentTime; }, 1000); For more detail go to below url. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10211145/getting-current-date-and-time-in-javascript

why do you want to reinvent the wheel when there is already Javascript function to show current date and time var dateTime= new Date(); there are many overloaded version of this function which is sufficient for almost all real world date time problems.
