How to get current Time using JavaScript

Hi Guys,
Today we discuss one useful topic related to javascript like How to get current time or live time using javascript. Here I explain how to display Current Time in 12 hour format (AM / PM) and 24 hour format with Hours Minutes, Seconds (hh:mm:ss) using JavaScript. The 12 hour time will be displayed in hh:mm:ss tt format with AM / PM and the 24 hour time will be displayed in hh:mm:ss format using JavaScript.

  var today = new Date();
    var h = today.getHours();
    var m = today.getMinutes();
    var s = today.getSeconds();
    m = checkTime(m);
    s = checkTime(s);
    document.getElementById('txt').innerHTML =h + ":" + m + ":" + s;

From the above code, we get the output like “21:01:26”. First we store the todays date to a variable in javascript using new Date(). The getHours() method is helps to get the hour for a given date, according to local time. The value returned by getHours() is an integer between 0 and 23. The getMinutes() method helps to get the minutes in the specified date according to local time. The value returned by getMinutes() is an integer between 0 and 59. The getSeconds() method helps to get the seconds in the specified date according to local time. The value returned by getSeconds() is an integer between 0 and 59.
Now we got the current time. But here is one problem, basically this code is correct. But I modified the code like AM and PM based. AM and PM : AM stands for ‘ante meridiem’, which means ‘before noon’ in Latin, while PM stands for ‘post meridiem’, which means ‘after noon’ in Latin. This is very simple method in javascript.
h >= 12 ? ‘PM’ : ‘AM’;

Full code

	Current Time:
	

getTimestamp();
?>

The output like:Current Time: 9:24:04 PM
