how to get the system current year in ASP

hungnguyen · Dec 13, 2000

Hi helper,

I am doing a website, but there is a need of a dropdown list for years, from the past 10 years upto the next 10 years of the current year. For example, this year is 2000; so that I would like to put into my dropdown menu from the year 1990 to 2010. This should be automatically calculated by the system clock. I did think many ways: VBScrip, JavaScript, and ASP. But they are not the final solution. Be side the question I ask above. There is anothe question. That is how to get the current year from the system in ASP. I know that to get the current system date is by the ASP code

<% date_test = date %>
but I do not know how to get the system current year directly (I meant without string concatination).
Thanks for your help.

Hung,

you can use the Year function in VBScript, for example to display the year,

Response.Write(Year(date()))

hope this helps

Hung,

try this, it works for me =)

<html>
<body>
<select>
<%
past = Year(date()) - 10
future = Year(date()) + 10
for i= past to future
Response.Write("<option value=" &i& ">" & i)
next
%>
</select>
</body>
</html>

hope this helps Chiu Chan

or, if you are using server-side jscript, you could use:

d=new Date();
Response.write(d.getYear()) jared@aauser.com
