Getting Server Date

How do I get the server date.
When all the code is executed at the server side why doesn't
date() function retrieve the server date.
I had given something like this <%dt=date()%> in my code to
get the server date. so dt has the server date here.
Lemme know the difference please.


Thanks in advance...

Hi manjeera

I can't actually remember wether ASP supports the date function in the same way VB uses it, but you can use Now() instead.

Remember to format it if you don't want the time =)

as in dt = FormatDateTime(Now(),vbShortDate)

Everything withing ASP script <% %> is server side. IT means that if you use Date or Now you will always get server's date/time.
