I'm not a jQuery developer but I want an output like this:
Saturday, June 9th, 2007, 5:46:21 PM
Please check out this code (jsFiddle).
<span id="date"></span>
var now = new Date();
dateFormat(now, "dddd, mmmm dS, yyyy, h:MM:ss TT");
// Saturday, June 9th, 2007, 5:46:21 PM
$('#date').append(now);
Thanks.
Using moment.js
var now = moment().format("dddd, MMMM Do, YYYY, h:mm:ss A");
// Saturday, June 9th, 2007, 5:46:21 PM
$('#date').append(now);
Output:
Saturday, January 5th, 2013, 9:01:22 AM
But no need to change anything if you would be using the older (2009) date.format.js Ian Atkin found for you and you needed to include in the first place:

Use this dateFormat function, available at this link. It even has the exact same format that you asked about.
Once you include the function you can run your code unaltered!

This can format your date just like PHP's date function.
UPDATE The function is improved to give correct and desired output.
I dont know why, but adding an empty character is giving the desired output
Also, I replaced append with html
PS : Would love to know from the more experienced guys why there was a need to add a blank character before or after the now2 variable for the output to be displayed.
var now = moment().format("dddd, MMMM Do, YYYY, h:MM:ss A");
// ___day, month _th, 20__, _:__:__ _M
$('#date').append(now);
Format : Saturday, June 9th, 2007, 5:46:21 PM . This code works.
Maybe it helps.
