How to get current date in JavaScript

I need to get todays date in the format yyyymmdd using JavaScript.

I've used the following code:

var d = new Date();
d.getFullYear()+ '' +((d.getMonth()+1)) + '' + d.getDate();

But the month and date are returned in single digits, does someone know how to do this?

@NimChimpsky Agreed. Maybe not an exact duplicate but the top answer certainly answers the question :) — Rob Quincey

        var d = new Date();
        var df = d.getFullYear()
            + ('0' + String(d.getMonth()+1)).substr(-2)
            + ('0' + String(d.getDate())).substr(-2);
        alert(df);

You can do this following way. But you need to write one extra function as below:

function getTwoDigit(number) {       
    return (number < 10 ? '0' : '') + number       
}

Now you can use that function on your original code.

var d = new Date();d.getFullYear()+ '' +(getTwoDigit(d.getMonth()+1)) + '' + getTwoDigit(d.getDate());
