The Date object is a data type built into the JavaScript language. Date objects are created with the new Date( ) as shown below.
Once a Date object is created, a number of methods allow you to operate on it. Most methods simply allow you to get and set the year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and millisecond fields of the object, using either local time or UTC (universal, or GMT) time.
The toLocaleDateString() function of the date object returns the date portion of the current date
Its Syntax is as follows
dateObj.toLocaleDateString()
<html>
<head>
<title>JavaScript Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var dateObj = new Date('September 26, 89 12:4:25:96');
document.write("Current Date: "+dateObj.toLocaleDateString());
</script>
</body>
</html>
Current Date: 9/26/1989
If you do not pass parameters to the Date constructor the toLocaleDateString() function returns the date string of the local time of the current system.
