You don t need jquery to do that  just javascript  For example  you can do a timer using this    lt body onload  clock     gt    lt script type  text javascript  gt  function clock        var now   new Date       var outStr   now getHours       now getMinutes       now getSeconds       document getElementById  clockDiv   innerHTML outStr     setTimeout  clock    1000     clock     lt  script gt       lt div id  clockDiv  gt  lt  div gt    lt  body gt    You can view a complete reference here  http   www hunlock com blogs Javascript Dates-The Complete Reference

Annoyingly Javascript s date getSeconds   et al will not pad the result with zeros 11 0 0 instead of 11 00 00    So I like to use   date toLocaleTimestring     Which renders 11 00 00 AM  Just beware when using the extra options  some browsers don t support them  Safari   Documentation

this is my way         lt script type  text javascript  gt    document  ready function         setInterval function   currentTime   idTimeField     500       function currentTime field        var now   new Date        now   now getHours           now getMinutes           now getSeconds          field  val now       it s not maybe the best but do the work

nickf s correct  However  to be a little more precise      if you try to print it  it will return something like     Sat Mar 21 2009 20 13 07 GMT-0400  Eastern Daylight Time     This time comes from the user s machine  var myDate   new Date      So if you want to display it as mm dd yyyy  you would do this   var displayDate    myDate getMonth   1           myDate getDate            myDate getFullYear      Check out the full reference of the Date object  Unfortunately it is not nearly as nice to print out various formats as it is with other server-side languages  For this reason there-are-many-functions available in the wild
