Hi all,
Hopefully something simple here.
I have written a form that takes data from a text box and updates it into an
Access database. However, I want to also pass the local user date and time
using date() and time() JavaScript commands, but can't find the right syntax
to put them in the input command, example:
<input name=date value="<javascript command here">
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

But realize that this is the date and time as set on the visitor's
desktop, which may have no relationship to reality. In fact, the
time reported by the browser may not even match what the visitor sees
on their desktop.

Hi Mick,
Tried, but doesn't seem to work. Put it on my testscripts folder at:
http://www.theukserver.net/testscript/readdate.html
have a look, and let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

<input type="text" name="date">

It's preferable to use "new Date()", rather than "Date()" as you have.

Could be because neither date() nor time() exists.

IMHO, while "date" is a perfectly legal name, it's not an ideal choice,
since it is too near "Date" to be typo-proof. "Today" would seem
better.
The date that goes into the Access database must be in a format that
Access considers appropriate; it's dangerous to assume that new Date(),
in any locality, will give a form that Access will accept specifically;
IIRC, the format of DateObj.toString() is not actually defined.
Note : the OP is in UK, his application may be UK or wider. Sometimes,
though localised to UK, browsers give FFF dates; sometimes, though in
UK, browsers are not localised to UK (in our Public Library, last time I
looked, localisation was US; but most users might have preferred KR).
I don't know what Access can accept, with/without localisation; give the
date/time in ISO 8601:2004 if possible - YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss; or
YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss. Do not rely, except maybe on an intranet, on any
formats offered by javascript; build what you want in a localisation-
proof manner, unless you are satisfied that both products will always
localise compatibly.
See below.

Hi Mick,
Any way I could get the date and time in two boxes in the format of:
DD/MM/YY and HH:MM ? like in this format??
<input type="text" name="date">
<input type="text" name="time">
Thanks for this.
Cheers
