The following code for the
showTime()
function is similar:
function showTime(dateObj) {
thisSecond = dateObj.getSeconds();
thisMinute = dateObj.getMinutes();
thisHour = dateObj.getHours();
return thisHour + “:” + thisMinute + “:” + thisSecond;
}
The
showTime()
function extracts the hours, minutes, and seconds values from the
Date
object, returning the text string
hour
:minute:second
where
hour
is the value of the
thisHour
variable,
minute
is the value of the
thisMinute
variable, and
second
is the value of the
thisSecond
variable.
You'll add both the
showDate()
and
showTime()
functions to an external JavaScript
file so that you can access them from any page of Hector's Web site.
