Hello All,

I need to maintain some history on my pdf form, so i need to get date and time when user submits the form. Right now i'm able to do this in FormCalc.

var todayDate = Date()
var todayTime = Time()
var today = concat(Num2Date(todayDate, "MMMM DD, YYYY"), " ", Num2Time(todayTime, "h:MM A"));

today will contain: April 28, 2009 2:23 PM

I want exact functionality in javascript. I'm not able to get the same result.

Please give me some code snippet for the same in javascript

Deepak.

var today = util.printd("mmmm dd, yyyy h:MM a", new Date());

Hi thomp,

Thank a lot...

Thats a good function...

There is a slight correction: instead of 'a' in the format string it should be tt thats it.

var today = util.printd("mmmm dd, yyyy h:MM tt", new Date());

I got this form the links that u provided.

Thanks once again.

Deepak
