Pass javascript json data with jquery

Question

I have build this function:

function currentDate() { var date; var currentDate = new Date(); var day = currentDate.getDate(); var month = currentDate.getMonth() + 1; var year = currentDate.getFullYear(); // if the month length = 1 add "0" to ir if (currentDate.getMonth().toString().length == 1) { month.toString(); month = "0" + month; } // if the day length = 1 add "0" to ir if (currentDate.getDate().toString().length == 1) { day.toString(); day = "0" + day; } var ISO = year + "-" + month + "-" + day; var EUR = day + "/" + month + "/" + year; return date = { "ISO": ISO, "EUR": EUR }; }

When I click on a button I want the ISO date or the EUR date to be passed into a text input. How can this be done???

Thank you..

And you just need return { "ISO": ISO, "EUR": EUR };. No need for date = , especially as you don't even use date. — Lightness Races in Orbit

Try out this fiddle example

<button data-type="EUR">set date EUR</button> <button data-type="ISO">set date ISO</button> <input id="date" type="text" />

JS:

$('button').click(function(e){ var d = currentDate(), type = $(this).data().type; $('#date').val(d[type]); });

When defining an object the key does not need to be in quotes.

<input id="cdate" /> <input type="button" onclick="$('#cdate').val(currentDate().ISO)" />
