I'm trying to set the current date in a <h2> tag on a page I'm developing. I've spent some time researching around the net, have seen some straight JavaScript methods, to do so by setting an array etc.

I'm looking to format the date as such

Nov. 9, 2010  

so

- abbreviated month, date, then full year. 

Does anyone know how to perform this with jQuery? Thank you for your time in advance. This forum is a great resource! I'm assuming this is a rather easy solution?
