Pass javascript json data with jquery

Question

I have build this function:

function currentDate() {
    var date;
    var currentDate = new Date();
    var day = currentDate.getDate();
    var month = currentDate.getMonth() + 1;
    var year = currentDate.getFullYear();

    // if the month length = 1 add "0" to ir
    if (currentDate.getMonth().toString().length == 1) {
        month.toString();
        month = "0" + month;
    }

    // if the day length = 1 add "0" to ir  
    if (currentDate.getDate().toString().length == 1) {
        day.toString();
        day = "0" + day;
    }

    var ISO = year + "-" + month + "-" + day;
    var EUR = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;

    return date = {
        "ISO": ISO,
        "EUR": EUR
    };
}

When I click on a button I want the ISO date or the EUR date to be passed into a text input. How can this be done???

Thank you..

And you just need return { "ISO": ISO, "EUR": EUR };. No need for date = , especially as you don't even use date. — Lightness Races in Orbit

Try out this fiddle example

<button data-type="EUR">set date EUR</button>
<button data-type="ISO">set date ISO</button>
<input id="date" type="text" />

JS:

$('button').click(function(e){
    var d = currentDate(),
        type = $(this).data().type;
    $('#date').val(d[type]);
});

When defining an object the key does not need to be in quotes.

<input id="cdate" />
<input type="button" onclick="$('#cdate').val(currentDate().ISO)" />
