Get minutes of time in JavaScript

How to get the minutes according to the local time in JavaScript?

By using getMinutes() we can return the minutes, according to the local time.

<p>Click the below button to get minutes of the time right now.</p>
<input type="button" value="Click" onclick="myDate()" />
<p id="myId"></p>

<script>
    function myDate() {
        var a = new Date();
        var r = a.getMinutes();
        document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = r;
    }
</script>

In the above code snippet we have given Id as "myId"to the second <p> element in the HTML code. There is a function myDate() in the<script>block which is connected to the Onclick of the HTML button. The document.getElementById("myId")returns the element that has Id"id=myID" in the HTML page. We need to return the minutes, according to the local time, for that we are using getMinutes(). Onclick of the button "Click" in the HTML code fires the function "myDate()" in the <script> block at the same time getMinutes()return the minutes of the present time as output.
