Hi i am new to javascript, (two weeks ) I have some programming
experience, this is what i want to do.
I have a small script (it prints the date in the UK fashion ) that i
want to include on several but not all the pages on my web site.
it seems illogical to type all the code on every page, I understand I
can put the code in a file lets call it do_date.js and have it used by
the pages it is needed on, i just don't seem to be able to get it to
work, suggestions would be most welcome>

Trev,
As a newbie, you'd do good to read the FAQ of this newsgroup....: http://www.jibbering.com/faq/
But just to help you on your way (code presumes you put your js include
files in a seperate directory called "include"):
If you wrap the code in a function, include the following in the <HEAD>
of each HTML doc:
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript"
SRC="include/do_date.js"></SCRIPT>
In the <BODY> of each HTML doc in the location where you want the
snippet to show, put:
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"
LANGUAGE="JavaScript">functionname();</SCRIPT>
If you don't wrap the code in a function, you can leave the bit in the
<HEAD> and just add the following in the HTML document at the right
place :
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript"
SRC="include/do_date.js"></SCRIPT>
Good luck, Juliette

My sites happen to make use of a couple of .js include files to handle
things like price conversion, should you want to take a look.
Also my automatic order forms display the day and date, which sounds
like what you are trying to do.
This is the code that I use...
var Months=new Array ("January","February","March","April","May",
"June","July","August","September","October","Nove mber","December");
var Days=new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday",
"Thursday","Friday","Saturday");
function ShowDate()
{
var today = new Date();
var year=today.getYear();
if (year < 500)
year = year + 1900;
document.write(
Days[today.getDay()] + ", " +
today.getDate() + " " +
Months[today.getMonth()] + ", " +
year+".");
}

page.

Well that happens sometimes due to "bug" errors, either due to typing
too fast, not checking well enough, or your brain stops working for a
short time. :-]
Your problem though was due to learning about JavaScript, when
everyone has to learn sometime.
Currently have just started on Perl and CGI myself, where I am getting
nowhere quickly. I think that I will have to ask my hosting provider
just where they have left Perl on my system, when CGI only works with
compiled files so far.
If only I had Telnet access...
I had left a </SCRIPT> on the .js file
as well as on the page,
Yes I did that once, when first using include files, but I spotted the
problem quite quickly.
The problem I expect occurs by seeing JavaScript outside of <SCRIPT>
</SCRIPT> statements, which is just not normal.
one to many ( now were have I heard that
before?) thanks for the code and the reply
Good luck with the rest of your project then.

But, unless you are forced to do so, don't use DD/MM/YYYY ; use the ISO-
8601 format YYYY-MM-DD which everyone can understand.
