I'd like to display the current date/time on a website. Does anyone know how I can do this in a HTML page?
Cheers for any help.

Here is a very simple test page that you can copy-paste to test how to do this.
I have set this to configure 2 strings... one is the date information, one if the time information. These are both calculated at the top of the page, and then written to the page at the appropriate place in your HTML.
The output will look something like this:
Monday, April 19th (10h 21m 55s).
Hope this gets you started, and gives you enough example to take it form here. Drop a message in the forum if you need more help!

Code:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
dayName = new Array ("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday");
monName = new Array ("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
dateExt = new Array ("","st","nd","rd","th","th","th","th","th","th","th","th","th","th","th","th","th","th","th","th","th","st","nd","rd","th","th","th","th","th","th","th","st");
var today = new Date();
var _dateString = dayName[today.getDay()] + ", " + monName[today.getMonth()] + " " + today.getDate() + dateExt[today.getDate()];
var _timeString = today.getHours() + "h " + today.getMinutes() + "m " + today.getSeconds() + "s";
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">document.write(_dateString + " (" + _timeString + ").");</script>
</body>
</html>The output will look something like this:
Monday, April 19th (10h 21m 55s).
