Date script not returning the correct values

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 09.2006

Can anyone help with this one… am new to Javascript.. when I run the following script and get the following output…

In the head section:

<code>
function makeDate()
{
now = new Date();
return now.getYear() + ‘/’ + (now.getMonth()+1) + now.getDate();
}
</code>

In the body section:
<code>
<BODY onLoad=”document.test.dateField.value = makeDate()”>

I put the output in a text field in a form with:

<form name=”test” action=”mypage.php” method=”post”>

and

<input type=”text” name=”dateField” size=”16″ maxlength=”16″ value=””>

</code>

With the following result…

106/48

Any help would be greatly appreciated….

Dave

return now.getYear() + '/' + (now.getMonth()+1) + now.getDate();

to this:

return now.get[COLOR=Red]Full[/COLOR]Year() + '/' + (now.getMonth()+1) + [COLOR=Red][B]'/' +[/B][/COLOR] now.getDate();
