<script>
function myDate(){
var tday=new Date();

var hr = tday.getHours();
var dy = (tday.getDate() + 1);
var yr = tday.getYear();
var mn = (tday.getMonth() + 1);
document.form1.date1.value = (yr.toString() + &quot;-&quot; + mn+ &quot;-&quot; + dy)
}

</script>
</head>

<body onLoad=myDate()>
<form name=&quot;form1&quot;>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;date1&quot;>
</form>
</body>

Change the bold area to format the date to &quot;look&quot; the way you want. You can also use document.write rather than a form DeZiner
