Hello,
I am currently redoing a website in xHTML.

Some scripts were in Javascript (displaying the date and time)

Thursday, May 12, 2016, it is 2:43 PM. 
script type="text/javascript">
 var d = new Date()
 var j = d.getDate()
 var m = d.getMonth()
 var y = d.getFullYear()
 var h = d.getHours()
 var mn = d.getMinutes()



Is it possible to do the same in HTML 5?

What is the source?

Thank you in advance

Configuration: Operating systems:
- Linux: Debian 8, Gentoo 20150505, Fedora 23, Ubuntu 15.10

    Hello,

    Thank you for your response.

    The script regarding Javascript was as follows: 

    <script language = "JavaScript" type = "text/javascript">
     var d = new Date()
     var j = d.getDate()
     var m = d.getMonth() + 1
     var y = d.getYear()
     if (y < 999)
     y += 1900;
     var h = d.getHours()
     var mn = d.getMinutes()
     var mois, jour;
     var dayNames = new
     Array("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday");
     if (m == 1)
     mois = " January";
     else if (m == 2)
     mois = " February";
     else if (m == 3)
     mois = " March";
     else if (m == 4)
     mois = " April";
     else if (m == 5)
     mois = " May";
     else if (m == 6)
     mois = " June";
     else if (m == 7)
     mois = " July";
     else if (m == 8)
     mois = " August";
     else if (m == 9)
     mois = " September";
     else if (m == 10)
     mois = " October";
     else if (m == 11)
     mois = " November";
     else if (m == 12)
     mois = " December";
     if (j == 1)
     jour = "1st"
     else
     jour = j;
     // Test to determine the formula to use
     if (h >= 18)
     document.write("Good evening");
     else
     document.write("Good morning");
     document.write(" and welcome to my site. ")
     document.write("Today is " + dayNames[d.getDay()] + " " + jour + " " + mois + " " + y + ", ")
     document.write("it is " + h)
     if (h < 2)
     document.write(" hour ")
     else
     document.write(" hours ")
     document.write(mn)
     if (mn < 2)
     document.write(" minute.")
     else
     document.write(" minutes.")
     </script>



    Is this script still correct, as it is a few years old?

    Thank you in advance
