var d = new Date(1017859380000);
var mar32k2 = d.getFullYear() + "-" + d.getMonth() + "-" + d.getDay();
var elevenFortyThree = d.toLocaleTimeString(); // 11:43:00 AM
// elevenFortyThree = d.getHours() + ":" + d.getMinutes(); // 11:43
var impressive = mar32k2 + " " + elevenFortyThree;

Don't use document.write.  Use the DOM to manipulate existing pages.  I made a 
post about this earlier in the thread.
