Todays’ date -- Ask Michel Komarov

Todays’ date

Simply follow the short instructions below and before you know it you’ll have today’s date on your web page every single day of the week. This will help to make your website look as up-to-date as possible.

There are two peices of code you’ll need to include in your web page before this will work for you.

A. Select all of the the text in the first box below then copy to clipboard (Ctrl+c) then paste (Ctrl+v) it above the </head> tag of your HTML source code.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--

  function getToday() {
    var d = new Date();
    return ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday",
    "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"][d.getDay()] + " " +
    ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May",
    "June", "July", "August", "September", "October",
    "November", "December"][d.getMonth()] + " " +
    d.getDate() + ", " + d.getFullYear();
  }
  function printToday() { document.write(getToday()); }
//-->
</script>

B. Select all of the the text in the second box below then copy to clipboard (Ctrl+c), then paste (Ctrl+v) the HTML code you’ve just selected into the source code of your web page anywhere between the <body> and </body> tags. The position you choose is where today’s date will appear.

<script type="text/javascript">printToday()</script>

That’s all there is to it, you can see below how it should look when you’ve installed it on your web page.
