Placing Current Date on a web page

[rarenet]

I want to place the current date (not last modified date) on my web pages. I have DW 4. the date object only inserts the last modified date. I want the current date. Does anyone have any clues on how to do this?

Thanks
Mike

If you are using the date stamp extension try amending teh third line of code in the script to read :-

var lastUpdate = new Date();

Leave the rest of the code the same and it should work.
