This is a reasonably straight forward port of functionality provided by the django.utils.dateformat
module into a method extending JavaScript's Date object. Its intended use is to allow client-side dynamic content to share the same date & time string formatting as Django template markup. By using this in conjunction with a context processor (to pass a format string to all templates) you can switch formats for both server-generated & client-generated dates across a complete site with a single setting.
The function supports almost the entire format -- as listed by the Django documentation for the now template tag -- with the exception of "I" & "T".
As a 'dumb' illustration, the following template tag usage:
It is {% now "jS F Y H:i" %}
...could equate to the following:
It is <script type="text/javascript">var now = new Date(); document.write(now.strfdate('jS F Y H:i'));</script>
It's not extensively tested (I only wrote it over the weekend), but seems to be working okay. Feel free to leave any corrections or suggestions in the comments, and I'll try to keep this entry updated if I make any fixes or changes.

I think it would make much sense to also include a meaningful <noscript>blah</noscript> tag for browsers with disabled javascript.
#
ouch - did not recognize that html tags are being removed here... I meant [noscript]blah[/noscript]
#
Sorry mawimawi, but I don't follow your point. There's no actual "usage" code in this snippet; what are you suggesting should be noscript'd?
