At the moment I just change it manually every month but its getting abit boring now!
Thanks
<!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->The above code will insert the local date.
Of course you could use any server side scripting language as well.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var date = new Date();
var d = date.getDate();
var day = (d < 10)? '0' + d : d;
var m = date.getMonth() + 1;
var month = (m < 10)? '0' + m : m;
var yy = date.getYear();
var year = (yy < 1000)? yy + 1900 : yy;
document.write(day + "/" + month + "/" + year);
//--></script>
A search of Google for javascript date scripts ( [google.com...] )will return many other useful scripts that will format the output to your requirements.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2">
var months=new Array(13);
months[1]="January";
months[2]="February";
months[3]="March";
months[4]="April";
months[5]="May";
months[6]="June";
months[7]="July";
months[8]="August";
months[9]="September";
months[10]="October";
months[11]="November";
months[12]="December";
var time=new Date();
var lmonth=months[time.getMonth() + 1];
var date=time.getDate();
var year=time.getYear();
if (year < 2000)
year = year + 1900;
document.write("<right>" + lmonth + " ");
document.write(date + ", " + year + "</right>");
</script>
Ive tried them both a few places and I usually get script error or the date just doesnt change!
The only important thing really is that the script is between the <body> tags of your page. If you are using a WYSIWYG editor like Frontpage you will need to look at the source code.
If this doesn't make sense, sticky me or post and I will talk you through it.
The JavaScript would go into a script element somewhere on your html document or an external file that you reference using the src attribute of the script elementīs start tag.

I'm going to point you back to this long thread, as there was some code examples included there:
