date script ~ revisited

NSS ~

I tried that fix, and here is a segment of the code with the two "corrected" pieces:

<SCRIPT>
calendar = new Date();
day = calendar.getDay();
month = calendar.getMonth();
date = calendar.getDate();
year = calendar.getYear();
if (year< 100) year = 2000 + year;
cent = parseInt(year/100);
g = year % 20;
k = parseInt((cent - 17)/25);
i = (cent - parseInt(cent/4) - parseInt((cent - k)/3) + 19*g + 15) % 30;
i = i - parseInt(i/28)*(1 - parseInt(i/28)*parseInt(29/(i+1))*parseInt((21-g)/11));
j = (year + parseInt(year/4) + i + 2 - cent + parseInt(cent/4)) % 7;
l = i - j;

When I do View Page Source, of course it doesn't show the script, but it shows the date as March 11, 100 ????

Still stumped (and don't want to look like a moron to my customers....

Hi Tiny,

I viewed your code and you have the old setting and your code appeared normal.

In normal cases, when you view the source code of a page, you wont get the date as you mentioned and I am quite puzzle also as you mentioned that you get a blank code.

I would suggest you check the following:

1)Click on Start and select setting

2)From setting, Click on Control panel and select regional setting and set the date to:

Short date: MM/dd/yy
Long date: dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy

Restart your computer and try again. Also view your page in Netscape and IE to confirm the date.

By the way, what html editor are you using?

Hope this helps

Hi Carole,

I viewed your trial page and the date is working fine in NN and IE using win95/98

The script reads the visitor's computer date and most of the time it will be correct unless they have a bug or corrupted win98 operating system/browser, so not to worry it won't be your fault.

I would suggest that you reinstall updated version of NS and IE since you are having some problems with it.

Your source code is perfect and your knowledge of Tables is very good. I also like the layout and it looks very professional.

I hope you will be able to solve all your problems and good luck.

It's March 12, 2000 here

I made the changes in Global Settings as you suggested. Then restarted my computer, and the date is still incorrect in NN. HOWEVER, it IS correct in IE. I had just downloaded the newest version of NN, so I doubt that's the problem (but could be, I guess).

BTW, I had put the new code on this page (as a trial): http://2kcut.com/almar.shtml

So I'm supposed to see the actual script here? That's weird. I believe I have seen it in other places before, esp. when using popup windows.

FYI ~ I use Word to edit my pages, then I FTP them. Is the source code showing up badly or something? That's just the way I learned (and self-taught, at that), so I could be doing it all wrong.

I'm sorry to take up so much of your time, but as I said before, I REALLY don't want to project an image of not knowing what I'm doing [esp. to my customers]. If I could find out WHY it shows up as March 12, 100 I could first FIX it, but also see how many of my customers see it that way.

Thanks SO much for your time.
Carole

Thanks Justin, Carole will be very happy to read this reply that her script is working fine.

FYI ~ I found the problem. I had upgraded to Netscape 4.61 and had noticed many problems. I requested a CD from my ISP for the prior version (4.05) and loaded it today.

The date shows perfectly.
If you're curious about the issues I found with 4.61 ~ let me know and I'll enter a new post wherever appropriate.

I would be interested in your findings about NN4.61. I have found many bugs with NN - well maybe not so much bugs but annoying differences between it and IE.

You should not have to change your browser to support your script - it should be the other way around. If you want a date script I will post one for you.
