Estimated Shipping Date

[ictindy]

Hello all,

I would like to add a "Estimated Ship Date" into a few of my web site pages. We build custom built computers and all pcs from us ship in 9 days. The estimated ship date would be 9 days from the current date that a visitor is on the web site.

Is there an easy way to add some html code the the web pages? or is there a lot more to it then I think?

Any help would be great!!

Thank You!

It takes javascript.

<script type="text/javascript">
var _next = new Date(new Date() * 1 + 24*60*60*1000*9);
alert("Your computer will be shipped on " + (_next.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + _next.getDate() + "/" + _next.getFullYear());
</script>

Well, that worked great! And thank you for it. Just one problem, it opened up in a little IE window. I just need it to be displayed as text on my ordering page.

I want to place it next to my "buy now" button at the botton of the page

Thank you

When do you want it to show up? Always, or just when "buy now" is clicked?

<form ...>
...
<input type="button" value="Buy Now!"><script type="text/javascript">
var _next = new Date(new Date() * 1 + 24*60*60*1000*9);
document.write(" Your computer will be shipped on " + (_next.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + _next.getDate() + "/" + _next.getFullYear());</script>
</form>

At the botton of the page you will see the sub total and a buy now button. Before the sub total and the buy now button is where I want to place the "Estimated Ship Date:"

Place this script in the page at the point where you want the date to appear in the page. You can put in inside any HTML markup you want.
<script type="text/javascript">
var _next = new Date(new Date() * 1 + 24*60*60*1000*9);
document.write(" Your computer will be shipped on " + (_next.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + _next.getDate() + "/" + _next.getFullYear());</script>

Works perfectly! That is excatlly what I want.

I am completely new to web design and know very little. Now if I wanted to change the color of the text in that java script, how would I go about doing that?

Thank you!!
