<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

var months = new
Array('January','February','March','April','May',' June','July','August','September','October','Novem ber','December');

// Calculate the number of the current day in the week.
var date = ((now.getDate()<10) ? "0" : "")+ now.getDate();

// Calculate four digit year.
function fourdigits(number) {
return (number < 1000) ? number + 1900 : number;

// Join it all together
today = days[now.getDay()] + ", " +

date + ", " +
(fourdigits(now.getYear())) ;

Some ideas below...

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
The language attribute is deprecated, type is required:

<script type="text/javascript">

<!-- Begin
Do not use HTML comments inside script elements, it is completely
unnecessary and may be harmful in some circumstances.

// Get today's current date.
var now = new Date();
That creates a date object that can be used to get the date at the time
the object was created.

// Array list of days.
var days = new
Array('Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thu rsday','Friday','Saturday');
Apparently you don't want this array, so just deleted it.

// Array list of months.
var months = new
Array('January','February','March','April','May',' June','July','August','September','October','Novem ber','December');
It can be simpler to initialise the months array with an "initialiser":

var months = ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April',
'May', 'June', 'July', 'August',
'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'];

// Calculate the number of the current day in the week.
var date = ((now.getDate()<10) ? "0" : "")+ now.getDate();
That gets the date, not the day number. To get a 2 digit date as a
string, you could use:

var now = new Date();
var nowDate = now.getDate();
nowDate = (nowDate<10)? '0'+nowDate : ''+nowDate;
I think it's not a good idea to have a variable called 'date' when there
is a Date object (not critical, just a preference).

// Calculate four digit year.
function fourdigits(number) {
return (number < 1000) ? number + 1900 : number;
Or just:

var year = now.getFullYear();

getFullYear() is not supported by some old browsers (IE 4 at least I
think), you may need to add some feature detection or fall-back.

// Join it all together
today = days[now.getDay()] + ", " +
months[now.getMonth()] + " " +
date + ", " +
(fourdigits(now.getYear())) ;

If you aren't going to re-use the date string, write it directly:

document.write(
months[now.getMonth()] + ' ' + nowDate + ', ' + year
);
[...]

Hi,

I tried implement this ideas as follows, but script not work at all:

<script type="text/javascript">

var now = new Date();

var months = ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April',
'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October',
'November', 'December'];

var now = new Date();

var nowDate = now.getDate();

nowDate = (nowDate<10)? '0'+nowDate : ''+nowDate;

function fourdigits(number) {
return (number < 1000) ? number + 1900 : number;

document.write(
months[now.getMonth()] + ' ' + nowDate + ', ' + year
);

</script>

// Calculate four digit year.
function fourdigits(number) {

Missing }
Or just:

var year = now.getFullYear();

getFullYear() is not supported by some old browsers (IE 4 at least I
think), you may need to add some feature detection or fall-back.
It is supported in IE4 as supplied with Win98 first UK release.
I tried implement this ideas as follows, but script not work at all:

<script type="text/javascript">

Superfluous.

var months = ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April',
'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October',
'November', 'December'];

var now = new Date();

var nowDate = now.getDate();

nowDate = (nowDate<10)? '0'+nowDate : ''+nowDate;

function fourdigits(number) {
return (number < 1000) ? number + 1900 : number;
Needs trailing }
That fourdigits will fail in browsers in which getYear() returns
year%100; it's been said that such browsers exist(ed).

function fourdigits(number) { return 2000 + number%100 }
// should, for current date, suffice for all but the youngest
programmer.
Needs
year = fourdigits(now.getYear())
or
year = now.getFullYear()
or
year = getFY(now)

document.write(
months[now.getMonth()] + ' ' + nowDate + ', ' + year
);

Yes.

But, as you have ignored previous advice, experts may now ignore you.

Note, however, that Merkins often use a format, known as FFF, which
conflicts both with common sense and with the applicable international
standard.

If you ignored half the posts you reply to with your pedantic garbage,
you wouldn't be half as bad.

Your pedantic stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

"But, as you have ignored previous advice, experts may now ignore you."

I not ingnored previous advice, I DONT UNDERSTAND IT. If you javascript
exprert, can you you show *full and correct code snippet*? Not
comments, not abstract Usenet discussion -I dont understand it (and
your english), but human readable code snippet, ready for use in html
page?
