How do I put today's date on my web page?

So that the date updates automatically

[gabby]

Hi all, does anyone know of an application that will keep the date updated automatically on a web site.

I found a couple of Javascripts that would give a scroll at the bottom, but I am looking for somthing that will update the date in the body of the document.

Any suggestions?

javascript will do that too. If you keep searching for javascript date script you should find a few places with the code.

There are some good ones out there which say 'good evening', 'good morning' etc.

Maybe you have seen a website which does exactly what you want. Have you viewed to the source to see how they do it?

I don't mean lift the code, but see if there is a 'script from xyzscripts' message.

For ASP, it's:

<%Response.Write Date%>

This works for me...

Today's Date is&nbsp;
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
var dateMod = "" ;
dateMod = new Date();
document.write((1 + dateMod.getMonth()) + "/" + (dateMod.getDate()) + "/" + dateMod.getFullYear());
</script>

<add>Place this script in the document body wherever you want the date displayed.</add>

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, gabby.

JavaScript will work for those users that allow JavaScript to run in their browsers, otherwise you'll need a server-side solution such as an Apache include or perhaps a server-side scripting language as mentioned -- ASP, PHP, Perl, or some other scripting language.

Also, JavaScript will only show what the user's machine clock is set to, whereas the server-side solution you could always make sure it is serving up the correct time, even time zone specific, if you want to go that far.
