Yeah Shobhit,

You could do

var $date = new Date();
_setValue(_textarea("question"), "mg" + $date);

I put this string in my script ,but it failed.

_setValue(_textarea("question"), "mg" + Fri Mar 05 2010 11:17:29 GMT+0530 (IST));

Use

var $date = "" + new Date();
_setValue(_textarea("question"), "mg" + $date);

First converting $date to a string (by adding "") and then adding to mg.
