Maybe this will help you

http://uk2.php.net/date

AFAIK theres no way to do it in HTML

Yea...sorry if I sound like an idiot...but I tried that, and well, I have no clue how to implement that.

Would you mind posting the exact code (so I can copy+paste) in here for me to have it formatted like I have it?

I know that is asking a lot, and if you don't want to or can't, that is fine. Either way, thanks for the link and trying to help!

<?php
$today = date("m.d.y"); 
//replace the current static date with
echo = ("$today");
?>

^ That should work. I've never done active time/date stuff before but try it. Keep it mind that the variable ($today) and the echo statement should both be inside php tags (<?php, ?>)

Im not sure how clear that is to you, let me know.

Your file extension has to be .php

You would have to use javascript if you wanted to keep the .html or .htm

Thats PHP code he gave you. You can copy/paste that and it will work if..

* You insert it into a PHP file filename.php

* Your server has PHP installed.

if you're still having trouble with this let me know... I know there's gotta be a simple way to do this with Javascript and it'd be an interesting learning project for myself :yes:

Check this one out, it looks like what you're talking about:

Try the code bellow... it works like it does on www.hp.com

copy the code bellow to your page.

&lt;script LANGUAGE = "JavaScript"&gt;

&lt;!--

// Array of day names

var dayNames = new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday");

var monthNames = new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");

var dt = new Date();

var y  = dt.getYear();

// Y2K compliant

if (y &lt; 1000) y +=1900;

// --&gt;

&lt;/script&gt;

add the code bellow where you want your date to show.

&lt;script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"&gt;document.write(monthNames[dt.getMonth()] + " " + dt.getDate() + ", " + y);&lt;/script&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

    • UI is slow but you prefer a slower UI to a snappier UI basically. Everyone is different.
