            document.write(formatDate(d)); 
  
            function formatDate(date) { 
                var day = date.getDate(); 
                if (day < 10) { 
                    day = "0" + day; 
                } 
                var month = date.getMonth() + 1; 
                if (month < 10) { 
                    month = "0" + month; 
                } 
                var year = date.getFullYear(); 
                return day + "/" + month + "/" + year; 
            }
