Indeed, that only sort of works for US-of-A-ers.

[and even they would object to "11:8", I suppose.]

The Q was: hh:mm

Please OP, put your Q also in the text, next time,
and include your [failed] effords.

============================
var d = new Date();

document.write(two(d.getHours())+':'+two(d.getMinutes()));

function two(x){
  return (x<10)?'0'+x:''+x;
};
============================

Why not use sprintf? There are a few free ones available written in 
javscript that seem to work okay. (Warning, most of them are not good at 
handling bad input, like putting the format string as the last arg instead 
of the first, or using umimplemented features, etc.)

HH:mm === sprintf("%02d:%02d", hour, min)

If that is [from] a library, this NG is about Javascript, why use a library 
for something so simple?

Because a lot of people have been using "sprintf" for years.

I don't think that is a good enough argument 
to advocate this in a Javascript NG.

sprintf is not part of Javascript.

It is like advocating using a Ferrari to get into bed 
in a NG about pyjamas.

Does not always give hh; sometimes just h.
Does not always give mm; sometimes just m.
Cannot tell the difference between morning and afternoon.

Tony : the question should be in the body, without relying on the
Subject.  To post otherwise is a sign of indolence.

You did not say whether you wanted the current time in local or in GMT.

Consider   new Date().toString().match(/..:../) and its variations,
testing with sufficient variation of user locale.

Wrong.  This will result in a false 12-hour format (there is no zero hour in 
the real format) where hours and minutes do not have the leading zero that a 
“hh:mm” format would require.  Also, nobody said that a 12-hour format would 
be wanted.

It does not sound right to me.  I think that “often enough” would be proper 
English instead.  But I am not a native speaker of English, which 
contributes to the possibility that I might be wrong about this.

The only thing you appear to be interested in here is trolling.  Go away.

They are about equivalent. Neither is slang, nor regional speech (either 
within the UK or in a more global sense), and there are no class-based 
connotations attached to either. "Often enough" is perhaps slightly 
sharper, but that's all.

You have a very good grasp of English word order, Thomas, I'll give you 
that. I remember studying German more than 50 years ago now, so I have 
some idea of the differences.

 I'm pretty sure that the deliberate mis-spelling is made to
strengthen the adjective. In case of of GG, it's well-placed.

Did you even understand a word I wrote?  Go away.

FWIW: A 12-hour time format can be achieved by starting with

  (d.getHours() % 12) || 12

because the remainder 0 (zero) is converted to boolean “false”, and all 
other remainders to boolean “true”.  When the first operand in a 
/LogicalORexpression/ is converted to “false”, the result of the operation 
and the /LogicalORExpression/ is the second operand [1].

“a.m.”/“p.m.” needs to be handled separately, though, and this would still 
not answer what was “asked” here.  However, the actual question that should 
have been asked is too trivial and too often discussed to deserve further 
consideration (“How can I get a number with a leading zero?”).

PE showed you where you were wrong. That's ok as PE knows more than the 
average and he's provided you with an opportunity to learn so why do you 
throw insults?
