The Date object is a built-in javascript object that enables you to work with dates and times.
A date object must be created before it can be used. To create a date object, it needs to be given a variable name and set to equal to the new keyword followed by Date().
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var myDate = new Date()
</script>
The javascript example below will show you how to display today's date and time.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
document.write(Date());
</script>

The Date object will automatically hold the current date and time as its initial value.
