javascript Date().getTime() is not a function

For some reason, I\'m getting \"Tue May 01 2012 16:43:03 GMT+0900 (JST) has no method \'getTime\'\"

Of cours

Answer 1

Try using new keyword to instantiate a new object so instead of this

var now = Date();

try this

var now = new Date();

Answer 2

This will make 'now' as variable type as date:

var now = new Date();

This will get you time from 'now':

new Date(now).getTime();

Answer 3

You need to use the new operator to create a Date object.

(new Date()).getTime()
