What exactly does this script do?


<script type="text/javascript"><!--

var mn = new Array(12);
mn[1] = "January";
mn[2] = "February";
mn[3] = "March";
mn[4] = "April";
mn[5] = "May";
mn[6] = "June";
mn[7] = "July";
mn[8] = "August";
mn[9] = "September";
mn[10] = "October";
mn[11] = "November";
mn[12] = "December";
var dn = new Array(7);
dn[1] = "Sunday";
dn[2] = "Monday";
dn[3] = "Tuesday";
dn[4] = "Wednesday";
dn[5] = "Thursday";
dn[6] = "Friday";
dn[7] = "Saturday";

function DateTime() {
var now = new Date();
var year = now.getFullYear();
var month = mn[now.getMonth() + 1];
var day = now.getDate();
var dayname = dn[now.getDay() +1];
document.writeln(dayname, ', ', month, ' ', day, ', ', year);
}
//-->
</script>

Hi Spe92002,
It simply displays the date. So to use it you need to place it in your <head> section and call it from your <body> section somewhere.
Copy this and you'll see how to use it.

function DateTime() {
var now = new Date();
var year = now.getFullYear();
var month = mn[now.getMonth() + 1];
var day = now.getDate();
var dayname = dn[now.getDay() +1];
document.writeln(dayname, ', ', month, ' ', day, ', ', year);
}
//-->
</script>

</head>
<body>

<h2>And the date is..........</h2>

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
DateTime();

</script>

</body>
</html>
