Hello,I was wondering if anyone could tell me a code that would display the current date/time. I don't know if this is possible in HTML and I'm new to website building so any help would be appreciated.

It can be done with a simple java script

<b>Todays Date: </b><SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
Stamp = new Date();
document.write('' + (Stamp.getMonth() + 1) +"/"+Stamp.getDate()+ "/"+Stamp.getYear() + ' <br> ');
var Hours;
var Mins;
var Time;
Hours = Stamp.getHours();
if (Hours >= 12) {
Time = " P.M.";
}
else {
Time = " A.M.";
}

if (Hours > 12) {
Hours -= 12;
}

if (Hours == 0) {
Hours = 12;
}

Mins = Stamp.getMinutes();

if (Mins < 10) {
Mins = "0" + Mins;
}

document.write('<B>Todays Time:</b> ' + Hours + ":" + Mins + Time + '');

//-->
</SCRIPT>

It only took me a second to find this on google...

It should, however, use getFullYear(), as getYear() will return 103... ;)

You can really shorten that, and make it more user friendly, by using...

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write('<p>', new Date().toLocaleString(), '</p>');
// -->
</script>

Heh I did not write it I just wanted to find it on google so I could say to people this only took my 2.3 minuits to find on google, lol. I would rather people find snippets themselves instead of having one of us write them a script or dig it up when it is a simple thing like this and it is not something like how would I go about doing this or do you have an idea or suggestion type of question.

Well actually I did search google,but I typed I was searching for the HTML code that did that. Sorry for the noob post ,but there's no need to flame me. Anyway, I have a question. HOw could I take that code and have it update the minute when the time changes other than the whole page refreshing.


thanks for your help.

If I were flaming you I would use some of my really good insult pics (most are too dirty and mean for this forum) and since the image code on this forum is disabled I would use a link to them :) ... I don't flame people on this forum.
