Javascript Time Stamp Help Please

[database30]

Hi,

I have a field named "todaysdate" and I am trying to add it into the timestamp script that I found on the message board.

Here is the javascript:

//(1) Declaration and initialization

Stamp = new Date();

var v_TimeStamp;

//(2) Construct the value of the v_TimeStamp variable in the format mm/dd/yyyy

v_TimeStamp=('' + (Stamp.getMonth() + 1) +"/"+Stamp.getDate()+ "/"+Stamp.getFullYear());

//(3) Field name - Date is referred with a prefix - EditRecord

document.forms[0].EditRecordDate.value=v_TimeStamp;

If you could guide me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

J

Hi,

You forgot to change the field name to the one that you have in your table.

Change this part of the code.

document.forms[0].EditRecordDate.value=v_TimeStamp;

to

document.forms[0].EditRecordtodaysdate.value=v_TimeStamp;

Also EditRecordFieldname is to access a field in a Search/Report DataPage. If you are trying to run this JavaScript for a webform then it would be InsertRecordFieldname.

Thanks,

Megha

Hello database30,

You can now stamp the time on DataPages without having JavaScripts.

Hello @database30,

You can also use calculated field or calculated value in getting the current time using this formula:

You can also check some function reference in time/date located under "Date and Time Functions": https://howto.caspio.com/function-reference/

I hope this helps
