    HTML question
    Hello,

    I would like my website to display the date automatically (without me having to update the page each day) , can anyone let me have HTML to do this ?

    I can understand that putting the time on the page could be more complicated allowing for time zones but hopefully the date is a bit easier.

    Thanks ?

    HTML question
    Thanks for the info - I checked the site and a couple of the links are no longer valid and the other one had loads of html that I could not get to work...

    Any other help would be gratefully received. :-/

    HTML question
    Afte looking at it again, this is what I came up with - only for the date. Place this somewhere before the </head>:
    <script language="JavaScript">
    <!--

    //Get Date
    Var months=new Array(13);
    Months[1]="January";
    Months[2]="February";
    Months[3]="March";
    Months[4]="April";
    Months[5]="May";
    Months[6]="June";
    Months[7]="July";
    Months[8]="August";
    Months[9]="September";
    Months[10]="October";
    Months[11]="November";
    Months[12]="December";
    Var time=new Date();
    Var lmonth=months[time.getMonth() + 1];
    Var date=time.getDate();
    Var year=time.getYear();
    If (year < 2000)
    Year = year + 1900;


    //-->
    </script>

    And then place this script wherever you want the date to appear:
    <script language="javascript">
    Document.write(lmonth + " " + date + ", " + year);
    </script>
