Javascript get date in format [duplicate]

Answer 1

Simple answer is no. Thats the only way to do it that I know of. You can probably wrap into a function that you can reuse many times.

Answer 2

function appendZeros(value,digits){
    var c= 1;
    initValue = value;
    for(i=0;i<digits-1;i++){
        c = c*10;
        if( initValue < c ){
            value = '0' + value;
        }
    }
    return value;
}
