This is a simple code to add a date on your website. You put the following code within the HEAD tags:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">

// WE SETUP THE FUNCTIONS
function getCurrentDate()
{
var months = new Array(13);
    months[0] = "January";
    months[1] = "February";
    months[2] = "March";
    months[3] = "April";
    months[4] = "May";
    months[5] = "June";
    months[6] = "July";
    months[7] = "August";
    months[8] = "September";
    months[9] = "October";
    months[10] = "November";
    months[11] = "December";
    var now = new Date();

    var mnum = now.getMonth();
    var m = months[mnum];
    var d = now.getDate();
    var y = now.getYear();
    if(y < 2000) { y = y + 1900; }
    var dateString = m + ' ' +  d + ', ' +  y;

return dateString;
} // Used to get the current Date

function getCurrentTime()
{
    var now = new Date();
    var h = now.getHours();
    var m = now.getMinutes();
    var s = now.getSeconds();
    var dn = "AM";
    if (h > 11) { dn = "PM"; }
    if (h > 12) { h = hour - 12; }
    if (h == 0) { h = 12; }
    if (h < 10) { h = "0" + hour; }
    if (m < 10) { m = "0" + minute; }
    if (s < 10) { s = "0" + second; }
    var timeString = h + ':' + m + ':' + s + " " + dn;
    return timeString;
} // Used to get the current Time

//-->
</script> 

Then you put the following anywhere on your site below the BODY tag:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--
    // This is to display the time and date on your site.
    var calendarDate = getCurrentDate();
    var clockTime = getCurrentTime();
    document.write('The date is' + calendarDate + '<br />');
    document.write('The current time is ' + clockTime);
//-->
</script>
