Date into Form

[Piet van Hogdalem]

Trying to get todays date e-mailed from a form. Would like to bind the date
to a hidden field.
Not sure how this is being done.

I am able to declare a variable and also am able to display it.

If i use MM's application variable and set it to date, than i get something
like Saturday, December 30, 1899

Thanks

It depends on the language you are using.

If ASP you can simply include a Hidden field and set its Value to

<%=Date()%> or <%=Now()%> if you want the time as well.

You would need to add in the LocalID code if not US, as by default it will
show MM/DD/YYYY.

Tell us more:
- What are you trying to do? The e-mail will be time-stamped, so why do
you need a separate field with the date in it?
- What method are you using to create the e-mail?
- What serverside language(s) do you have available?
