Initializing From Field Value to today's date

[shikha]

Hi,

I am using FrontPage 2002, on the form I have the field name date, and I
want to set its value to today's date, and similarly I have a field name Time
on the form, and want to set its value to current time.

Is it possible? Any help will be greatly appreciated

Hi Stefan,

First of all thank you so much for your reply. I am using ASP, so when I
search for its date/time scripts, i get DateTime.Now, but whenI put that
under Initial Value, it is not evaluating the epxression, its showing the
formula....Any suggestions???

If you are using ASP, then set the initial field value to

<%=Date()%>

Hi Thomas,

I inputted this <%=Date()%> formula under form field properties Intial
Value, and when I preview, I still see the formula. Is that how it will be,
until i post my site to a server? This is my project with Frontpage, so
still in the learning stage.

Thank you for your help!!

Yes, you must view the page from a server, and the page must have a .asp extension.
