Current date and Background questions...

[Guest_imported]

I know how to insert a date for when a page has been updated, but is there a way of inserting the current date?

Also, can I select a whole load of objects and make them appear on every page in the background?

Thx

You want the current date to be displayed on the page maybe like this -

Yes, yes... just like that. How do you do it in FP??!! - (I'm guessing some html code's coming!?)

Don't know how to automate in FP. But here is the code. This goes inbetween the head tags:

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
<!-- Hide From Oldies
today=new Date();

// Build an array initializer
function isnArray() {
	argnr=isnArray.arguments.length
	for (var i=0;i<argnr;i++) {
		this[i+1] = isnArray.arguments[i];
	}
}

// And months and day arrays
var isnMonths=new isnArray(&quot;01&quot;,&quot;02&quot;,&quot;03&quot;,&quot;04&quot;,&quot;05&quot;,&quot;06&quot;,&quot;07&quot;,&quot;08&quot;,&quot;09&quot;,&quot;10&quot;,&quot;11&quot;,&quot;12&quot;);
var isnDays= new isnArray(&quot;Monday&quot;,&quot;Tuesday&quot;,&quot;Wednesday&quot;,&quot;Thursday&quot;,&quot;Friday&quot;,&quot;Saturday&quot;,&quot;Sunday&quot;);
isnDays[0]=&quot;Sunday&quot;;

function MM_displayStatusMsg(msgStr) { //v1.0
  status=msgStr;
  document.MM_returnValue = true;
}
</script>	
//  -->

This goes where you want the date to show:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
	<!--Hide JavaScript

var thisyear = today.getYear(); // varies in JavaScript and JScript
 
document.write(isnMonths[today.getMonth()+1]+&quot; / &quot;+today.getDate()+&quot; / &quot;)

if (thisyear >= 2000) { // covers JScript post 2000
	document.write(thisyear);
	}
else { // covers JScript from 1900 thru 1999 and JavaScript until 3899
	document.write(1900 + thisyear);
	} // not handled: JScript pre 1900

// End hiding of script -->

	</script>

Good Luck! DeZiner
