this is the client side forum. if you want to do something involving the server, you need to ask in the server side forum.

This Code In ASP:

<html>
<body>
<%
dim todaysDate
todaysDate=now()
%>
<%
Response.write todaysDate
Response.write("<br>")
%>

<%
Response.write FormatDateTime(todaysDate,0)
Response.write("<br>")
%>

<%
Response.write FormatDateTime(todaysDate,1)
Response.write("<br>")
%>

<%
Response.write FormatDateTime(todaysDate,2)
Response.write("<br>")
%>

<%
Response.write FormatDateTime(todaysDate,3)
Response.write("<br>")
%>

<%
Response.write FormatDateTime(todaysDate,4)
%>
</body>
</html>



Will Produce The Server Time In This Format:

Thanks a lot that helped a lot. Now comes the tricky part. How do I update the time every second. I need people to see the time changing. Thanks 1000 times!:D
