Quick Java ?

Hey Guys,

I'm looking for the javascript code that will update the date on a landing page.

The closest I could find was

<div style="color:Black;">
<script type="text/javascript">
var d=new Date()
var weekday=new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday")
var monthname=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
document.write(weekday[d.getDay()] + " ")
document.write(d.getDate() + ". ")
document.write(monthname[d.getMonth()] + " ")
document.write(d.getFullYear())
</script>
</div>

The only problem is, I can't figure out how to change the font style or bold it. Does anyone know how to do this,or know of a better code? Thanks in advance

You can just use old-fashioned html before and after the
javascript. Yes, you can use the document.write to add
it if you wish. Here is an example of a big, bold, arial, red
date using good old fashioned html and skip the <div>:

<big><b><font size="6" color="red" face="arial">
<script type="text/javascript">
var d=new Date()
var weekday=new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thu rsday","Friday","Saturday")
var monthname=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","A ug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
document.write(weekday[d.getDay()] + " ")
document.write(d.getDate() + ". ")
document.write(monthname[d.getMonth()] + " ")
document.write(d.getFullYear())
</script>
</font>
</b></big>

You might have been under the impression that the javascript
ignores previous defined fonts. A clue would have been to look
at the <div> style just before.

Just change the font size, color, font to whatever. Keep in mind
fancy fonts may not be recognized.

You could also change it using the div tag.

My opinion is to leave it default black/font as is.
