Example
Using getHours(), getMinutes(), getSeconds(), and getMilliseconds() to display the UTC time (with milliseconds):
function addZero(x,n) {
while (x.toString().length < n) {
x = "0" + x;
}
return x;
}
function myFunction() {
var
d = new Date();
var x =
document.getElementById("demo");
var h =
addZero(d.getUTCHours(), 2);
var m =
addZero(d.getUTCMinutes(), 2);
var s =
addZero(d.getUTCSeconds(), 2);
var ms =
addZero(d.getUTCMilliseconds(), 3);
x.innerHTML = h +
":" + m + ":" + s + ":" + ms;
