Displaying Date Time in an input box

[Jerry]

With the following code I am trying to simply set and display the current date time in an input box. The input box will not accept a variable that contains any spaces (i.e., a space between date and time). It works if I hardcode a date time, but I need the current date time. The code also works as long as it is not within an input box (see 3rd line below)

<tr><td align="right"><strong>Start Time:</strong></td><td align="left"><input type="Text" name="Start_Time" value=<% =now %> /></td> *THIS ONLY DISPLAYS DAT
<td><% =now %></td> *THIS DISPLAYS BOTH DATE AND TIM
</tr

Any ideas on how to accomplish this

Thanks

<%
Function GetItFromHere()
Dim strDateandTime
strDateandTime = now 'get date and time
strDateandTime = Trim(strDateandTime) 'remove spaces
GetItFromHere = strDateandTime 'pass it to the function returned
End Function
%>

<input type="text" value="<%GetItFromHere%>">

Put quotes around the value of the attribute. You should get in the habit
of doing that for all attributes.

<input type="Text" name="Start_Time" value="<% =now %>" />
