Get and set the current time efficiently using javascript  I couldn t find a solution that did exactly what I needed  I wanted clean and tiny code so I came up with this    Set once in your master js and invoke when required    PURE JAVASCRIPT   x000D   x000D  function timeNow i    x000D    var d   new Date    x000D      h    d getHours   lt 10  0        d getHours    x000D      m    d getMinutes   lt 10  0        d getMinutes    x000D    i value   h         m  x000D    x000D   lt a onclick  timeNow test1   href     gt SET TIME lt  a gt  x000D   lt input id  test1  type  time  value  10 40    gt  x000D   x000D   x000D      UPDATE  There is now sufficient browser support to simply use  toLocaleTimeString  For html5 type time the format must be hh mm    x000D   x000D  function timeNow i    x000D    i value   new Date   toLocaleTimeString      hour   2-digit   minute  2-digit     x000D    x000D   lt a onclick  timeNow test1   href     gt SET TIME lt  a gt  x000D   lt input id  test1  type  time  value  10 40    gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    Try it on jsfiddle
