Hi All.

I am getting date field from database in US-Format(MMddyyyy) but I need it to display is std date format i.e MM/dd/yyyy using javascript/jquery.

Example: If value from database is 7242014, then it will display 7/24/2014.

I have tried using substring but if months or days are 10 or more, then its not correct.

Please help.

Most forms of SQL allow you to retrieve dates from the database pre-formatted as you want, which will be a much simpler solution.

try this

XML

<script type="text/javascript">
    var d = new Date();
    var curr_date = d.getDate();
    var curr_month = d.getMonth() + 1; //Months are zero based
    var curr_year = d.getFullYear();
    document.write(curr_date + "/" + curr_month + "/" + curr_year);
</script>

"I have tried using substring but if months or days are 10 or more, then its not correct."

Try this............

If (parseint(MM) <10 ) {
MM = '0'+MM
}

C#

If (parseint(DD) < 10) {
DD = '0'+DD;
}
