我不喜欢在JavaScript中为标准数据类型添加属性，所以我建议这样做:

/**
 * Format a duration in seconds to a human readable format using the notion
 * "h+:mm:ss", e.g. "4:40:78". Negative durations are preceeded by "-".
 *
 * @param t Duration in seconds
 * @return The formatted duration string
 */
var readableDuration = (function() {

    // Each unit is an object with a suffix s and divisor d
    var units = [
        {s: '', d: 1}, // Seconds
        {s: ':', d: 60}, // Minutes
        {s: ':', d: 60}, // Hours
    ];

    // Closure function
    return function(t) {
        t = parseInt(t); // In order to use modulus
        var trunc, n = Math.abs(t), i, out = []; // out: list of strings to concat
        for (i = 0; i < units.length; i++) {
            n = Math.floor(n / units[i].d); // Total number of this unit
            // Truncate e.g. 26h to 2h using modulus with next unit divisor
            if (i+1 < units.length) // Tweak substr with two digits
                trunc = ('00'+ n % units[i+1].d).substr(-2, 2); // …if not final unit
            else
                trunc = n;
            out.unshift(''+ trunc + units[i].s); // Output
        }
        (t < 0) ? out.unshift('-') : null; // Handle negative durations
        return out.join('');
    };
})();

用法:

var str = readableDuration(3808); // "1:03:28"

我还创建了一个更通用的版本。主要的区别是它接受毫秒(这是JS中的标准时间单位)，而输出格式使用空格。

我推荐使用普通的javascript，使用Date对象。(要获得更简短的解决方案，请使用toTimeString，请参阅第二个代码片段。)

var seconds = 9999;
// multiply by 1000 because Date() requires miliseconds
var date = new Date(seconds * 1000);
var hh = date.getUTCHours();
var mm = date.getUTCMinutes();
var ss = date.getSeconds();
// If you were building a timestamp instead of a duration, you would uncomment the following line to get 12-hour (not 24) time
// if (hh > 12) {hh = hh % 12;}
// These lines ensure you have two-digits
if (hh < 10) {hh = "0"+hh;}
if (mm < 10) {mm = "0"+mm;}
if (ss < 10) {ss = "0"+ss;}
// This formats your string to HH:MM:SS
var t = hh+":"+mm+":"+ss;
document.write(t);

(当然，创建的Date对象将有一个与之关联的实际日期，但该数据是无关的，因此出于这些目的，您不必担心它。)

编辑(简短的解决方案):

使用toTimeString函数并对空白进行分割:

var seconds = 9999; // Some arbitrary value
var date = new Date(seconds * 1000); // multiply by 1000 because Date() requires miliseconds
var timeStr = date.toTimeString().split(' ')[0];

toTimeString给出'16:54:58 GMT-0800 (PST)'，对第一个空格进行分割给出'16:54:58'。

如果你是在处理视频长度，这个版本的公认答案会让它看起来更漂亮:

1:37:40(1小时/ 37分钟/ 40秒)

1:00(1分钟)

2:20(2分20秒)

String.prototype.toHHMMSS = function () {
  var sec_num = parseInt(this, 10); // don't forget the second param
  var hours   = Math.floor(sec_num / 3600);
  var minutes = Math.floor((sec_num - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
  var seconds = sec_num - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60);

  var hourSeparator = ':';
  var minuteSeparator = ':';

  if(hours == 0){hours = '';hourSeparator = '';}
  if (minutes < 10 && hours != 0) {minutes = "0"+minutes;}
  if (seconds < 10) {seconds = "0"+seconds;}
  var time = hours+hourSeparator+minutes+minuteSeparator+seconds;
  return time;
}

我会给artem的答案投票，但我是一个新海报。我确实扩展了他的解决方案，虽然不是OP要求的如下

    t=(new Date()).toString().split(" ");
    timestring = (t[2]+t[1]+' <b>'+t[4]+'</b> '+t[6][1]+t[7][0]+t[8][0]);

得到

0410月16:31:28太平洋时间

这对我很有用……

但如果你从一个时间量开始，我会用两个函数;一个用于格式化和填充，一个用于计算:

function sec2hms(timect){

  if(timect=== undefined||timect==0||timect === null){return ''};
  //timect is seconds, NOT milliseconds
  var se=timect % 60; //the remainder after div by 60
  timect = Math.floor(timect/60);
  var mi=timect % 60; //the remainder after div by 60
  timect = Math.floor(timect/60);
  var hr = timect % 24; //the remainder after div by 24
  var dy = Math.floor(timect/24);
  return padify (se, mi, hr, dy);
}

function padify (se, mi, hr, dy){
  hr = hr<10?"0"+hr:hr;
  mi = mi<10?"0"+mi:mi;
  se = se<10?"0"+se:se;
  dy = dy>0?dy+"d ":"";
  return dy+hr+":"+mi+":"+se;
}

使用moment.js库:

function humanizeDuration(input, units ) { 
  // units is a string with possible values of y, M, w, d, h, m, s, ms
  var duration = moment().startOf('day').add(units, input),
    format = "";

  if(duration.hour() > 0){ format += "H [hours] "; }

  if(duration.minute() > 0){ format += "m [minutes] "; }

  format += " s [seconds]";

  return duration.format(format);
}

这允许您指定任何持续时间，无论是小时、分钟、秒、磨，并返回人类可读的版本。

我认为这是目前为止最快的性能:

var t = 34236; // your seconds
var time = ('0'+Math.floor(t/3600) % 24).slice(-2)+':'+('0'+Math.floor(t/60)%60).slice(-2)+':'+('0' + t % 60).slice(-2)
//would output: 09:30:36
