time - date formatting

Post by w5afw »

are there html "tag options" or other means to enable a format like: time, date (dd mm yyyy) -- for use on a web page?

No - I think most of the dates come out as whatever your system format is. For the current date/time, there are the tags to get the individual items separately, so you can format those as you want (within the limitations of the formats that those items are supplied in, eg hour is 24-hour).

According to 'Help' - Creating a website - Web tags

The format you have asked for would be:

<#hour>:<#minute>, <#day> <#month> <#year>

In 24hr clock format

Thank you for the tip. I will reread "Help" to see if I can find some more tidbits which I missed before. Any good suggestions for beginner tutorials on xml, php, or wap would be welcomed. Cheers, lex
