Hello,How does one add the server (current) date to a form field?
I am working on a Request Form that has a request date field that I would like to auto-fill with the current date instead of a user typing it in.
Is there server variable (IIS) for the system date that I can use, if so, what is the variable name?
Thanks in advance

ive never had to do this tbh, so dont hunt me down if it doesnt work <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>
but basically if you add the value tag with a script delimiter in it (above is an ASP example) then something along them lines will work.
