Answer 1

The standard time for min and sec is a range of numbers from 0 to 59.
... and you want to add a "0" to the front of the second or minute if they are 0..9, there's one thing to notice here 0-9 are all less than 10 so instead of saying [if (secs.lenght=1){}]
you could say [if (secs < 10){}]

here's the simplified code...

//trying to make the min and sec display a leading 0

function printTime() {
var d = new Date();
var hours = d.getHours();
var mins = d.getMinutes();
var secs = d.getSeconds();

if(secs < 10){
secs ="0"+secs;
}
if(mins < 10) {
mins ="0"+mins;
}

document.body.innerHTML = hours+":"+mins+":"+secs;
}

setInterval(printTime, 1000);

Answer 2

thanks man, I just had the wrong comparison operator. gracias

Answer 3

Another way to add leading-zero to a 2digit string numbers.

secs =("0"+secs).slice(-2);
mins =("0"+mins).slice(-2);
hours =("0"+hours).slice(-2);
