Fill text box on form with specific date ?

[David]

Hi,

Quick question:

Using ASP, If I have a text box on a form, how can I auto populate it
when the form loads with the date of the current Friday, i.e.
dd/mm/yyyy


Thanks for your help

the date of the current Friday

First you have to define "current".

is that "next" or "last" Friday?

What do you consider to be the current Friday? 2004-10-29? Or 2004-11-5?
I will assume it to be the first Friday to follow the current date.

<%
dim today,curFri
curFri=date()
do until weekday(curFri) = vbFriday
curFri= dateadd("d",1,curFri)
loop
curFri = left("0" & day(curFri),2) & "/" & left("0" & month(curFri),2) & _
"/" & year(curFri)
%>
<input value="<%=curFri%>">

Certainly not if the current day is a Friday!

handled it in the code even though I didn't express it in my assumption.
