how to get current date?

[t4nu]

Hi,
I want to get the current date and then assign it to a control.
I have assign the control to the script in its before control event.
It show up the date, but not the current date, instead it displayed the data of January 1st, 1970.

Here is the code of the script which I use:

Code: Select all

	

var tgl = new Date();
tables.ResignationForm.FormDate.value = tgl.getDate();

Can anybody help me fix the problem?
Thanks in advance for the help.[/code]

I change the assignment to this:

Code: Select all

	tables.ResignationForm.FormDate.value = tgl.getMonth()+1 + "/" + tgl.getDate() + "/" + tgl.getFullYear();

seems work. Is there any other way to get current date?

Code: Select all

tables.ResignationForm.FormDate.value = new Date();

Column FormDate needs to be of type DATE.

It is indeed date type.

Code: Select all

tables.ResignationForm.FormDate.value = new Date();

Column FormDate needs to be of type DATE.

Then the code above should work.

which one? the first? The first work in the context it display the date, but not the current date, which I want to get.
The 2nd is work as expected, but I want to know if is there any other way more simple to get the current date.

Then the code above should work.

This code should work:

Code: Select all

tables.ResignationForm.FormDate.value = new Date();

I have a script called GLOBAL_FUNCTIONS with common functions that can be called from any script that I attach GLOBAL_FUNCTIONS to. These 2 functions retruns the date or time:

Code: Select all

// Returns current Date in the format mm/dd/yyyy
function getCurrentDate() {
     var d=new Date();

     var dateStr;

     dateStr=&#40;&#40;d.getMonth&#40;&#41;+1&#41; < 10 ? "0" + &#40;d.getMonth&#40;&#41; + 1&#41; &#58; &#40;d.getMonth&#40;&#41;+1&#41;&#41; + "/" + &#40;d.getDate&#40;&#41; < 10 ? "0" + d.getDate&#40;&#41; &#58; d.getDate&#40;&#41;&#41; + "/" + d.getFullYear&#40;&#41;

     return dateStr;
&#125;

// returns current time 
function getCurrentTime&#40;&#41; &#123;
     return new Date&#40;&#41;.toTimeString&#40;&#41;.toString&#40;&#41;.substring&#40;0,8&#41;;
&#125;

DateServices is really handy and documented here

http://dev-docs.verj.io/ufs/doc/javadoc ... .String%29

eg

Code: Select all

var d=new Date(); 
var dateStr = DateServices.formatDate(d,'dd/MM/yyyy');

var timeStr = DateServices.formatDate(d,'HH:mm:ss');
