To create a new date in JavaScript you create a new Date Object. You
can then manipulate the Date object as needed to create a date string
that you want as your text box value. Below is your example completed
but you will probably want the date in a different format.

oDate = new Date();
<%
var oToday = now()
%>
<input type="text" name="today" value="<%=oToday.toString()%>>

Here is a reasonably good reference:

It is old; it does not have the UTC functions; it does not seem to
mention field rollover (e.g. Mar 1 -> Feb 28/29). While the author
mentions Summer Time, he forgets its transitions in doing date
arithmetic with 864e5. Otherwise OK.
