Date function in Drop-Down Box
 

<select name="test1" style="width: 200px">

<option></option>

</select>

This is typical drop-down box in html forms. My question is, hot to make the option to capture current date. Or Must I use any other function than drop-down box.

Please advise.

Hi there,

try this code("Function") this may help you

javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">

//<![CDATA[

<!--

function addDate(){

        var d=new Date();

        var monthname=new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");

        var TODAY = monthname[d.getMonth()] + " " + d.getDate() + ", " + d.getFullYear();

        var        selectBox = document.getElementById("test1");

        var optn = document.createElement("OPTION");

        optn.text = TODAY;

        optn.value =  TODAY;

        selectBox.options.add(optn);

}

//-->

//]]>

</script>

HTML

<a href="javascript:void(0);"        onclick="addDate()">create Option</a>

<select name="test1" style="width: 200px" id="test1">

<option>Select Date</option>

</select>

But if you like to to capture current date, then you can use Text Box, i think there is not any need of multiple selections for current date...

Function for Text Box
javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">

//<![CDATA[

<!--

function addDate(){

        var d=new Date();

        var monthname=new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");

        var TODAY = monthname[d.getMonth()] + " " + d.getDate() + ", " + d.getFullYear();

        /***** TextBox *****/

        var        TextBox = document.getElementById("TextBox");

        TextBox.value = TODAY;

        /************/

}

//-->

//]]>

</script>

HTML

<a href="javascript:void(0);"        onclick="addDate()">create Option</a>

<input name="TextBox" type="text" id="TextBox">

I Hope this will help you

Re: Date function in Drop-Down Box
 

Thanks for the codes. Actually I'm looking for the codes which can produce output like this

2000-03-24(masked)

The date should be in that particular format and masked. Once the form is open, the current date will be automatically there and masked.

advise pls.
