Hour and Minutes with javascript [duplicate]

Question

I have made this with js:

// time var date = new Date(); var currentTime = date.getHours() + ':' + date.getMinutes(); document.getElementById('timex').value = currentTime;

This script inserts the hour and minutes in a input.

There is a problem, at 16:06 the time becomes 16:6. And this causes a problem with the html input. The same thing happens at 1am. Become 1:34 and not 01:34.

Check if the value is less than 10, if so, insert a preceding zero. — Reisclef

Try this, simple and works like a charm:

var date = new Date(); var currentTime = ('0' + date.getHours()).slice(-2) + ':' + ('0' + date.getMinutes()).slice(-2); document.getElementById('timex').value = currentTime;

If you are satisfied with the answer, I would really appreciate it if you accept the answer :)
