VBScript - format time

is there a way to format the time so that it does not show seconds... i am using the formatdatetime() function... but it displays seconds in it... you can't customize the format like you can with the VB format() function

i found this article which i think will be really helpfull

that has nothing to do with formatting the date/time though

Code:

---

dim todaysDate
todaysDate = now()
Response.write FormatDateTime(todaysDate,4)

Response.write FormatDateTime(todaysDate,4)
Response.Write "<BR>"

dim abc, def, ghi
abc = cstr(FormatDateTime(todaysDate,4))

def = mid(abc,1,instr(1,abc,":")-1)

ghi = cint(def)
if ghi > 12 then
ghi = ghi - 12
abc = replace(abc,def,cstr(ghi)) & " PM"
else
abc = abc & " AM"

end if

Response.Write "<BR><BR>" & abc

You could use javascript for that.

I realize I'm probably beating a dead horse here, but..

Code:

---

  Dim crntTime
  crntTime = Left(Time,5) & Right(Time,3)

---

Which will output hh:mm tt
