Date().toDateString()

@allObjects: wow - great stuff - looks like you coded your own date.js and more ;-)

my intention is to code a small and simple helper to get a human readable date/time

a little change for a shorter the length checker:

//var HH = this.getHours().toString();
//HH = HH.length > 1 ? HH : '0' + HH;
var HH = ("0"+this.getHours().toString()).slice(-­2);
