I'm trying to find out how I can display dynamic date and time using moment.js.
Apparently I can't figure out to use setInterval properly.
If possible I'd prefer not to use jQuery as moment.js dosn't need it.
Here's what I have so far: http://jsfiddle.net/37fLF/2/.
$(document).ready(function () {
var datetime = $('#datetime'),
date = moment(new Date()),
update = function(){
datetime.html(date.format('dddd, MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a'));
};
update();
setInterval(update, 1000);
});
I've made a few modifications in your code:
Note that the method update is now outside the ready
event handler
code:
var datetime = null,
date = null;
var update = function () {
date = moment(new Date())
datetime.html(date.format('dddd, MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a'));
};
$(document).ready(function(){
datetime = $('#datetime')
update();
setInterval(update, 1000);
});
working demo: jsfiddle
Again, thanks for your answers. The code I ended up with follows.
(Note danish i18n)
moment.lang('da');
var datetime = null, date = null;
var datetime_update = function() {
date = moment(new Date());
datetime.html(date.format('[Lige nu: ] dddd [d.] Do MMMM YYYY [kl.] HH:mm:ss'));
};
$(document).ready(function() {
datetime = $('#datetime');
datetime_update();
setInterval(datetime_update, 1000);
});
EDIT: Here nine months after I asked this quesiton I figured out this way to do it without jQuery (as I initially asked). Here it is:
function date_time() {
now = moment().format('dddd [d.] Do MMMM YYYY [kl.] HH:mm:ss');
document.getElementById('timer').innerHTML = now;
setTimeout(function () { date_time(); }, 1000);
}
date_time();
And then of course use it with an HTML ID like:
<span id="timer"></span>
Put
date = moment(new Date());
inside the update function. Now you're just printing the same date every second ;)
This is how it goes by me and its working u can check it here
HTML
< asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='' >
JavaScript
< script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function date_time()
{
var dt = new Date();
document.getElementById('<%=Label1.ClientID%>').innerHTML = dt;
setTimeout(function () { date_time(); }, 1000);
}
date_time();
< /script>
