Hi,

I have a date field in the form, and I want the value for that field to be
defaulted to today's date, similarly I have time field, and I want the value
for the time field to be defaulted to current time.

I am not sure how to do it, any help will be greatly appreciated
 
Is it necessary for the client to fill in date and time? If
not then the form handler can add that information for you

It is not necessary...but if we do the query for the data, then under results
I do want to see the time & date form was filled. Will I be able to include
time stamp from Form Handler into results????
 
It sounds like this is going into a database, so yes, you
can pull the date time info from there

Yes Mike, it is going to Access Database. In that case I can pull the
timestamp into the results page, when I am querying the data... That solves
the problem...thank you :)
 
If the form is on a Windows Server

you can use <% =now()%> to put the time on the form and <% =today() %>
displays the date only.

as in <input type="text" name="date" value="<% =now() %>">

and similar for the =today().

Otherwise you can use javascript to do this, but I'm unsure of the syntax
for that.
