Thank you TheCanadian, problem with that is that its not displaying current date, shows me November 1 supose to show me Ocrober 1. Any ideas why?

displayDate = nMonth-1+" "+nDate+", "+nYear;

I didn't read the original tutorial, or the rest of the code, but that might fix it. It could be a one-off error, because arrays start at 0, rather than 1.

Also, if somebody wants the date, it's always gonna be on their screen.

What do you mean on their screen? do u mean task bar/windows clock ?

[Jeff Wheeler]

Exactly :)

Windows, Linux, and Mac all have it…

[audrius'05]

nope! this code


displayDate = nMonth-1+""+nDate+", "+nYear; didn't help

Exactly :)

I know but some people don't know how to double click :P in Windows etc, but the purpose of it is that it gives some people the immpresion that website is always being maintained, if you know what I mean

[Jeff Wheeler]

Woops, that line was fine, do this instead:

nMonth = mon[now.getMonth()-1];

[audrius'05]

Yep, it helped this time, thank you so much nokrev, I really appreciate your efforts;

[TheCanadian]

Actually the problem is that the mon array is missing September. The code should look like:


onClipEvent (load) {
mon = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sept", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"];
weekdays = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
now = new Date();
nDay = weekdays[now.getDay()];
nMonth = mon[now.getMonth()];
nDate = now.getDate();
nYear = now.getFullYear();
displayDate = nMonth + " " + nDate + ", " + nYear;
displayDay = nDay;
}

Weird! I can't believe that that hasn't been corrected yet…

[Jeff Wheeler]

Haha. That's a good reason too…

Update: Kirupa corrected it :)

[Jeff Wheeler]

Arg! I was just about to tell him ;P

[kirupa]

Fixed :)
