How to use a dynamic date?

I want to put a date on a html page. I used the ?Insert/Date? command. It inserted the date alright. But the problem is, it does not update. I tested on a server, it show the same date even the next day. How can I put a date that actually changes (each minute, each day)?

Thank you

I want to put a date on a html page. I used the ?Insert/Date? command.

What scripting language are you using?

BTW, what's the point of putting the current date/time on a web page?
Everyone already has that on their computer/watch/wall.

hey , if you want to use JavaScript

here is the code:
paste it, in the place where you want show the date


<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var MyDate = new Date()
MyDayWeek = (MyDate.getDay())
MyMonth = (MyDate.getMonth())
MyDay = (MyDate.getDate())
MyYear = "2000"
DayWord = new Array("SUNDAY", "MONDAY", "TUESDAY", "WEDNESDAY", "THURSDAY",
"FRIDAY", "SATURDAY", 7)
MonthWord = new Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May",
"June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December",
12);
document.write(""+(DayWord [MyDayWeek])+""+" "+(MonthWord [MyMonth])+"
"+MyDay+", "+MyYear);
//-->
</script>

Amartyr:

If you read the help information about that function, you'll discover that
it only updates when the file is changed. It's not a dynamic date....
