Date.prototype.toTimeString()

The toTimeString() method returns the time portion of a Date object in human readable form in English.

A string representing the time portion of the given date in human readable form in English.

Date instances refer to a specific point in time. Calling toString() will return the date formatted in a human readable form in English. Sometimes it is desirable to obtain a string of the time portion; such a thing can be accomplished with the toTimeString() method.

The toTimeString() method is especially useful because compliant engines implementing ECMA-262 may differ in the string obtained from toString() for Date objects, as the format is implementation-dependent; simple string slicing approaches may not produce consistent results across multiple engines.
