    Add this javascript anywhere on the page you want todays date to show. If you just want to see how it looks, copy the entire code and save it as date.html, then open it with your browser.
    Code:
     
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<!-- Created on: 10/15/2008 -->
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" />
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
var now = new Date();
var days = new Array('Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday');
var months = new Array('January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December');
var date = ((now.getDate()<10) ? "0" : "")+ now.getDate();
function fourdigits(number) {
return (number < 1000) ? number + 1900 : number;
}
today = days[now.getDay()] + ", " +
months[now.getMonth()] + " " +
date + ", " +
(fourdigits(now.getYear())) ;
document.write(today);
// End -->
</script>
 
</body>
</html>
