I just want to enter today's date in a text input box with the format
mm/dd/yyyy when it receives focus. I've been playing around with this but
just can't seem to get it to work.

That format should nor be used on the World-Wide Web; since only a few
countries use it, it is generally misleading (as is dd/mm/yyyy, of
course).

No 'countries' that I know of use the format yyyy/mm/dd although that is the
one which sorts alphabetically and chronologically simultaneously.
Or would
you suggest using the Julian Day Number?
