Get ready to see how to work with dates and times in JavaScript, from parsing to formatting, and understand the differences between different date formats.

Code walkthrough (html):
‹!DOCTYPE html›
‹html lang=”en”›
‹head›
‹meta charset=”UTF-8″›
‹meta name=”description” content=”A sample HTML5 document demonstrating date object manipulation.”›
‹/head›
‹body›
‹h1›
‹/h1›
‹p›Today’s date is: ‹span id=”current-date”›‹/span›‹/p›
‹script›
var currentDate = new Date();
document.getElementById(‘current-date’).innerHTML = currentDate.toDateString();
‹/script›

What it looks like: Invalid Date Object – Unparsed Input 🚫 → Parsed Date Object with Correct Format 🕰️

Try it yourself: Try parsing a user-input date string into a Date object.
