To make a date change itself on a web page, you need to refresh the page. I.E. use javascript to get the current date and time when the page initially loads. That is fine, but will remain static until you reload the page. To automatically make the page refresh, you need to add this code to the HEAD of the HTML page --

<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT=5*60>
</HEAD>

That reloads a page every 5 minutes (5 times 60 seconds.). You can also do this in javascript if interested.

The simple javascript make this possible.
put scri[t in head section of your html and

"<DIV id="clock" style="FONT-SIZE: 15px;"></DIV>"
where you want to show your watch

thanks

<SCRIPT language=javaScript>
onload = function() {
	thistime= new Date()
	var hours=thistime.getHours()
	var minutes=thistime.getMinutes()
	var seconds=thistime.getSeconds()
	if (eval(hours) <10) {hours="0"+hours}
	if (eval(minutes) < 10) {minutes="0"+minutes}
	if (seconds < 10) {seconds="0"+seconds}
	thistime = hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds
	document.getElementById('clock').innerHTML=thistime
	var timer=setTimeout("clockon()",200)
}
</SCRIPT>

Hello,
Thank you all for your solutions, i think you didn't understand what i wanted exactly, so let me explain it :

In the page of Index.html you can see the section of News & Events, before, i had to edit the page manually and edit the date for exemple if today is 24/04/2010 i have to download the page and open it with FrontPage and edit the date to 25/04/2010 and so on upload it again for update the News & Events,

Now i want this date which is 24/04/2010 change itself from 24/04/2010 to 25/04/2010 automatically, no need to do it manually, you got me now? any idea?

Thank you

Hello,

Move the script I gave above, to the bottom of the <HEAD> section -- put it after all the CSS, and just a line before the closing </HEAD> tag. See if that helps. All METAs should come before CSS and javascript.

This line I gave you --

change it to --

#config timefmt="%a %d %b %Y -- %I:%M %p" #echo var="DATE_LOCAL"

If server side includes are enabled on your webserver, that will give the local date and time where the server is located. See if that works.

Do you have javascript disabled in your browser? Mine (same code as I gave you) works for me. Maybe enclose this in a <FONT> tag to make sure it is visible and not hidden.

Well SSI is not enabled on your web server. I guess that won't work, but the javascript should work.

so any idea please?

scrathcyboy

The javascript I gave you should have worked. Maybe there is something on your site that is blocking it. How often do you need to update the date?

the date in News & events must be changed daily with a new date. is there any code with php for exemple?
