JavaScript Date Object
this code will give you the date in the format mm/dd/yyyy (at least that is what it gave me, because that is my locale convention)
var today = new Date();
document.write(today.toLocaleDateString());
Note: var today = new Date(); is a Date object that has ToString Metho...
@Jamal, will you tell me if I bent the rules to make this question openable, please.
I have the following jquery mobile + phonegap app. I'm finding when I load the app, the images in the separate pages load pretty slowly. Any advice on how to either fix this?

@SimonAndréForsberg, what comment of his do you agree with? my code is shorter and clearer than the answer that was given, and works across a majority of browsers as shown by the Mozilla link that I gave along with the w3schools link that I gave. my code is cleaner.
@Malachi: It sort of looks like it implies non-working code, so I wouldn't consider reopening right now. It doesn't seem clear if everything else works, and only a performance increase is desired.
@SimonAndréForsberg, quoted from Mozilla "Note: Note that JavaScript Date objects can only be instantiated by calling JavaScript Date as a constructor: calling it as a regular function (i.e. without the new operator) will return a string rather than a Date object; unlike other JavaScript object types, JavaScript Date objects have no literal syntax."
Date Objects return strings. they don't return other objects. the date object is an array of string values, except for the number of milliseconds from 1 January, 1970 UTC. so to see if the object is holding a value in the correct format you have to return a string.
maybe I am looking at this the wrong way @SimonAndréForsberg

the only way to achieve what the OP is asking (from assumptions one everyone's part) is to create a new DateLike object and give it a key that is the same thing as date.toLocalDateString or what the other answer says. does that make sense?
@SimonAndréForsberg, the way that I read the question, the OP wants the String representation of the Date Object equivalent to DateTime.Now.Date is that how you read the question? does he want the object or the representation?
@SimonAndréForsberg Quoted from OP, "This will give the current date, without the TimeSpan value ('00:00:00'). In javascript I did this:"
giving the current date without the timespan value, he needed to see it, my code does "giving the current date without the timespan value" using the original Date Object
