I just want to enter today's date in a text input box with the format
mm/dd/yyyy when it receives focus. I've been playing around with this but
just can't seem to get it to work.
Any help would be appreciated.

That format should nor be used on the World-Wide Web; since only a few
countries use it, it is generally misleading (as is dd/mm/yyyy, of
course).

No 'countries' that I know of use the format yyyy/mm/dd although that is the
one which sorts alphabetically and chronologically simultaneously. Or would
you suggest using the Julian Day Number?

Curiosity: How widely accepted is yyyy-mm-dd out there in the Rest of
The World? In addition to software development, I've been using it on
bank drafts and forms for several months, but have never spotted it in
the wild (USA-AZ).

It is, I have been lead to understand, a US Federal Standard.
USA Standard: ANSI X3.30-1985(R1991), FIPS PUB 4-1, 4-2.
if you indulge in foreign travel, it is also
Canada: CAN/CSA-Z234.5-89. (Z234-4 ?)
and many others.
It matters not, however, how widely it is used, but how widely it is
understood correctly.
My Bank have remarked (audibly) on seeing it, but have understood it and
accepted it without demur.
A date in MM/DD/YYYY, such as Jan 4th, being written as 01/04/2004, will
be understood throughout Europe as meaning April Fools Day. The date of
Remembrance Sunday, written demotically in the UK as 09/11/2003, will be
misunderstood by Americans.
But everyone can understand 2004/04/11 as being the coming Easter
Sunday, given an adequate 2004 diary.

Any responsibility that the UK may have for this must be shared in part
with the country that founded New Amsterdam. It is one thing, I
suspect, for which the French need not be blamed.
No 'countries' that I know of use the format yyyy/mm/dd although that is the
one which sorts alphabetically and chronologically simultaneously.
I believe Japan and China use it routinely. MSDOS 5 believes that YYYY-
MM-DD is also used in French Canada, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Sweden,
Yugoslavia, Poland.
Or would
you suggest using the Julian Day Number?
No, not least because the Julian Day Number does not define a Civil
Date. Modified JD defines a UK Civil Date (ignoring Summer Time); and
Chronological JD & CMJD define a civil date anywhere.
For more, see via below.

Not only "Catholic", but also "Protestant "; or, to give due credit,
"Gregorian" . The first row agrees with Zeller & other sources.
But, while I have reliable algorithms for Julian Easter, I have nothing
that gives the Orthodox row of dates. Is that Passover the Pesach of
the accepted Hebrew calendar, or is it some rival computation?
Hebrew Pesach is 15 Nisan, and the Hebrew Year rotates slowly against
the Gregorian; so, if it is the same Pesach, the attached Easter will
not remain with Gregorian April/May. OTOH, neither will remain forever
in accord with the actual seasons.
