Javascript for current date

Guest_imported · Mar 6, 2002

Well, in a new documanet I have the date appearing as I want with the following code:

</head>
<font face="arial" size="1" COLOR="#161616">
<center>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2">
var time=new Date();
var month=time.getMonth();
var date=time.getDate();
var year=time.getYear();
document.write(date + " " + (month+1) + " " + year);
</script>

It works in a newly created page, but when I try to add it to all pages in my website, it doesn't appear. I've tried setting "padding" etc. but it doesn't work. I also want to align it right not centre page - when I put right instead it just goes to the left. Any ideas of how to solve these - I'm really not sure where to put the code with all the other html code in my pages.

Follow the two pieces of code. The first goes in between the

Code:

<head></head>

tags. The second bit goes where you want the date to appear. It can be wrapped for left right placement by putting the second half of the code like this:

Code:

<span align=&quot;left&quot;>code here</span>

Sorry I don't know which bits of code you mean exactly. I can see the <head> and </head> tags at the top of the code for my page, but which code goes between there?

Basically, what is the first piece of code and what's the second piece of code, you're referring to exactly?

This is the first that goes in between the head tags:

Code:

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
<!-- Hide From Oldies
today=new Date();

// Build an array initializer
function isnArray() {
    argnr=isnArray.arguments.length
    for (var i=0;i<argnr;i++) {
        this[i+1] = isnArray.arguments[i];
    }
}

// And months and day arrays
var isnMonths=new isnArray(&quot;01&quot;,&quot;02&quot;,&quot;03&quot;,&quot;04&quot;,&quot;05&quot;,&quot;06&quot;,&quot;07&quot;,&quot;08&quot;,&quot;09&quot;,&quot;10&quot;,&quot;11&quot;,&quot;12&quot;);
var isnDays= new isnArray(&quot;Monday&quot;,&quot;Tuesday&quot;,&quot;Wednesday&quot;,&quot;Thursday&quot;,&quot;Friday&quot;,&quot;Saturday&quot;,&quot;Sunday&quot;);
isnDays[0]=&quot;Sunday&quot;;

function MM_displayStatusMsg(msgStr) { //v1.0
  status=msgStr;
  document.MM_returnValue = true;
}
</script>    
//  -->

This is the second that goes where you want the date to show. For example in a particular <td> tag or in the middle of a paragraph or wherever:

Code:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
    <!--Hide JavaScript

var thisyear = today.getYear(); // varies in JavaScript and JScript
 
document.write(isnMonths[today.getMonth()+1]+&quot; / &quot;+today.getDate()+&quot; / &quot;)

if (thisyear >= 2000) { // covers JScript post 2000
    document.write(thisyear);
    }
else { // covers JScript from 1900 thru 1999 and JavaScript until 3899
    document.write(1900 + thisyear);
    } // not handled: JScript pre 1900

// End hiding of script -->

You can use the FP Insert>Advanced>HTML Code to add the second part in page view mode.
