Hi,

I'm currently in the process of building a new website, and would like to
have the current date automatically inserted into the top right hand side of
the web page.

I have found this piece of code on the web, but cant seem to make it work.
Any ideas, or any simpler ways of achieving this???

Thanks...

<!-- Begin
d = new Array(
"Sunday",
"Monday",
"Tuesday",
"Wednesday",
"Thursday",
"Friday",
"Saturday"
);
m = new Array(
"January",
"February",
"March",
"April",
"May",
"June",
"July",
"August",
"September",
"October",
"November",
"December"
);

today = new Date();
day = today.getDate();
year = today.getYear();

if (year < 2000)
year = year + 1900;

end = "th";
if (day==1 || day==21 || day==31) end="st";
if (day==2 || day==22) end="nd";
if (day==3 || day==23) end="rd";
day+=end;

document.write(" ");
document.write(d[today.getDay()]+" "+m[today.getMonth()]+" ");
document.write(day+" " + year);
document.write(" ");
// End -->

Try this one, the instructions are right there and it's pretty easy to
install.

Hi Mark,

If you wish to be able to control the look of the date or time format take a
look at J-Bots Date and Time components.

Hi Mark,
That code is good. The only thing you should do is wrap it in a function and
then call it wherever on the page you want the date to appear. See this page
for a demo - you can copy and paste the code back to your own page

Excellent.

I have pasted the code into my page, and the result is exactly as I wanted.
However, I can't see what I have done in normal mode in FP 2002. It just
appears blank.

Also, could you please explain what you mean by wrap it in a function. I
just pasted the html and it worked. Although, all the other code appears to
have the code </tr> or </td> before anything else. What is that?

Thanks,

Mark

Copy the following JavaScript into Notepad and then paste into your
cell – In FP2000 Insert > Advanced > html.

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript><!--

var DayOfWeek = new
Array('Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday');
var MonthName = new
Array('January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September',
'October','November','December');
var theDate = new Date();

document.write('<NOBR>' +
DayOfWeek[theDate.getDay()] + ' ' +
MonthName[theDate.getMonth()] + ' ' +
theDate.getDate() + ', ' +
(theDate.getYear() < 200 ? theDate.getYear() + 1900 :
theDate.getYear()) +
'</font></NOBR>');
//--></SCRIPT>

Many thanks for all the help everyone.

I went with Jon's idea in the end. It does exactly what I wanted.

Many thanks Jon...
