    JavaScript: Format Date/Time [Resolved]

    I need to format a date/time stamp in one of my pages in my
    robohelp help file. It supports Javascript so I modified the page
    code, but ran accross a issue where I need to format this stamp
    with "MM-DD-YY_H-MM-SS". I want this to be dynamic so when
    the user clicks the help page the current date and time will be
    displayed and formatted. I am having trouble with single digit
    values. I need double digits for all values. Here is what I have so
    far...

    Code:
      <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
        function FormatDate() {
          RightNow = new Date();
          RightNow.getMonth()+1 + "-" + RightNow.getDate() + "-" + RightNow.getFullYear()
          return true;
        }
        
        function FormatTime() {
          RightNow = new Date();
          RightNow.getHours() + "-" + RightNow.getMinutes() + "-" + RightNow.getSeconds();
          return true;
        }
    
        function FormatStamp() {
          RightNow = FormatDate(); + "_" + FormatTime();
          return true;
        }
      </SCRIPT>
    How do I pass the values back and in the required format?

    Thanks for any help.

    Update.
    I got it to work, but its not in the two digit format I need.
    How do I format the single digit values to include a preceeding
    zero?




    Code:
      <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
        function FormatDate() {
          RightNow = new Date();
          var FDate = RightNow.getMonth()+1 + "-" + RightNow.getDate() + "-" + RightNow.getFullYear();
          return FDate;
        }
        
        function FormatTime() {
          RightNow = new Date();
          var FTime = RightNow.getHours() + "-" + RightNow.getMinutes() + "-" + RightNow.getSeconds();
          return FTime;
        }
      </SCRIPT>
    
    '...
    '...
    '...
    
      <P>
       Example:<BR>
       Current date - <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">document.write(FormatDate());</SCRIPT><BR>
       Current time - <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">document.write(FormatTime());</SCRIPT></P>

    FINALLY GOT THE DAM THING!



    Code:
      <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
        function FormatDate() {
          RightNow = new Date();
          var dTemp = (RightNow.getFullYear() - 2000);
          if (dTemp > 9 && dTemp <= 1999) {
            var d2Year =  (RightNow.getFullYear() - 2000);
          }
          else {
            var d2Year =  "0" + (RightNow.getFullYear() - 2000);
          }
          var dTempd = RightNow.getDate();
          if (dTempd > 9) {
            var d2Day = RightNow.getDate();
          }
          else {
            var d2Day = "0" + RightNow.getDate();
          }
          var dTempm = RightNow.getMonth();
          if (dTempm > 9) {
            var d2Month = RightNow.getDate();
          }
          else {
            var d2Month = "0" + RightNow.getMonth();
          }
          var FDate = d2Month + "-" + d2Day + "-" + d2Year;
          return FDate;
        }
        
        function FormatTime() {
          RightNow = new Date();
          var dTemph = RightNow.getHours();
          if (dTemph > 9) {
            var d2Hours = RightNow.getHours();
          }
          else {
            var d2Hours = "0" + (RightNow.getHours());
          }
          var dTempd = RightNow.getMinutes();
          if (dTempd > 9) {
            var d2Mins = RightNow.getMinutes();
          }
          else {
            var d2Mins = "0" + RightNow.getMinutes();
          }
          var dTemps = RightNow.getSeconds();
          if (dTemps > 9) {
            var d2Secs = RightNow.getSeconds();
          }
          else {
            var d2Secs = "0" + RightNow.getSeconds();
          }
          var FTime = d2Hours + "-" + d2Mins + "-" + d2Secs;
          return FTime;
        }
      </SCRIPT>
