METHOD:
Date::toLocaleString
object.toLocaleString(
)
This method uses the
relevant locale's date conventions when converting a date to a string.
This is done by using the default date format of the user's operating
system. This takes in to account the differences between date formatting
methods used in different countries, e.g. in the U.K. the date comes before
the month as opposed to the U.S. convention of the month first.
The following code uses the toLocaleString method to convert the
date set in the myDate object to a string. For the purposes of this example,
the locale of the operating system is set to that of the United Kingdom.
Code:
myDate = new Date(99, 04, 23)
document.write(myDate.toLocaleString())
Output:
23/05/1999 00:00:00 |
