improving this variable.

[bazz]

HI,

I have this variable in a Javascript and I want to change it to collect the date from the server so that whenevber a user calls the script, the time is continually accurate. Since the language is client side, maybe the server time is not accessible but then I would have to use the computer time of the user.

The line of code is:

var todaysDate = "2003/04/24";

I am fed up having to change it every day :rolleyes:

Any tips welcome

<script>
<!--

var todaysDate = new Date();
document.writeln(todaysDate);

//-->
</script>

That's great James.

Would I be correct that this will take the date from the users PC rather than from the server?

Hello -

If you want short date format:


funtion getTheDate()
{
var dt=new Date();
var m=dt.getMonth()+1;
var d=dt.getDate();
var y=dt.getYear();
var dt=m+'/'+d+'/'+y;
return dt;
}
