Displaying Date and time in VB Script with ASP Classic

To display the Date and Time in your ASP page with certain format is very simple indeed. Take a look at the examples as below:

  1. <%=time()%>
    - Get current time
    - e.g. 9:52:30 AM

  2. <%=date()%>
    - Get current date
    - e.g. 7/11/2008

  3. <%=now()%>
    - Get current date and time
    - e.g. 7/11/2008 9:54:03 AM

  4. <%=FormatDateTime(now,0)%>
    - e.g. 7/11/2008 9:55:41 AM

  5. <%=FormatDateTime(now,1)%>
    - e.g. Friday, July 11, 2008

  6. <%=FormatDateTime(now,2)%>
    - e.g. 7/11/2008

  7. <%=FormatDateTime(now,3)%>
    - e.g. 9:57:49 AM

  8. <%=FormatDateTime(now,4)%>
    - e.g. 09:58

  9. <%=WeekDay(now)%>
    - Day of the week
    - e.g. 6

  10. <%=WeekDayName(WeekDay(now))%>
    - e.g. Friday

  11. <%=Day(date)%>
    - Day of the month
    - e.g. 11

  12. <%=Month(date)%>
    - Month of the year
    - e.g. 7

  13. <%=MonthName(Month(date))%>
    - e.g. July

  14. <%=Year(date)%>
    - Current year
    - e.g. 2008

  15. <%=Right(Year(date),2)%>
    - Current year
    e.g. 08

  16. <%=Hour(now)%>
    - Hour part
    - e.g. 10

  17. <%=Minute(now)%>
    - Minute part
    - e.g. 11

  18. <%=Second(now)%>
    - Second part
    - e.g. 2

    It looks like all of these would display the 'server' date and times correct?

    Do you know any VBScript that will display the 'clients' date and time?

    I have an email form that people will fill out that I need the date and time to be in the email submission but all that i've found only send through the server time.

    thanks in advanced!

    You can use a javascript, coz this runs in the client browser. Here are some of the examples that you can refer to:

    1. Displaying the client's current date and time

    2. Display client's PC Date & Time
