How to get the current date using HTMLB JSP page

[Former Member]

Hi All, I developed an iview with several fields using PDK, I would like to know how can I include for a date field a dynamic value witch in this case is the current date.

<hbj:inputField

id="Date"

type="date"

maxlength="10"

showHelp="TRUE"

required="TRUE"

value="???"

/>

Thanks in advance

Hi Alexis ,

u can use the setDate("3.12.2003") function to set date for this input field.

u just change the id = Date , because in jave we have Date class. rename it to another name..

suppose id = systemDate

<%

Format formater = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");

Date syDatum = new Date();

%>

then

put

systemDate.setDate(formater.format(syDatum));

this will set the date .....

Please see this weblog. It explains how to do automatic refreshing, but it does so with a date/time stamp. This should show you what you need to do to default the current date on your jsp page.
