jQuery.now() ExampleTop

Shorthand method for getting the current time.

In the example when we press the button the first time we display a message for the longhand version of the current time using (new Date).getTime() and our shorthand version using the jQuery.now() jQuery General utility method.

$(function(){
  $('#btn2').one('click', function(){
    $('#div2').append((new Date).getTime() + '<br>');
    $('#div2').append($.now() + '<br>');
  });
