Automatically enter date

[skijohn]

I am attempting to automatically get today's date to be entered into a field in a form as the default value. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

Thanks!

<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;Date&quot; value=&quot;#DateFormat(Now(),&quot;mm/dd/yy&quot#&quot; size=&quot;10&quot;>

DateFormat(Now(),&quot;params&quot works great anytime you need to display the current date. Andrew

An other way to do it is the use of the CFPARAM.
Just do like this : <cfparam name=&quot;Yourdate&quot; default=&quot;#now()#&quot;>

and after : <input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;inputname&quot; value=&quot;#variables.yourdate#&quot;>

you can also apply a dateformat on the variable !
