Hi ..

I am using this js functions for date and time

function currentYear(){
var today = new Date();
var dd = today.getDate();
var mm = today.getMonth();
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
if(dd<10){dd='0'+dd}
if(mm<10){dd='0'+mm}
{
return mm+dd+yyyy;
}
}

function currentTime(){
var currentTime = new Date();
var hours = currentTime.getHours();
var minutes = currentTime.getMinutes();
var seconds = currentTime.getSeconds();
if (minutes < 10){
minutes = "0" + minutes;
}

if (seconds < 10){
seconds = "0" + seconds;
}


if(hours > 11){
return hours + "" + minutes + "" + seconds;
}
else {
return hours + "" + minutes + "" + seconds;
}
}

This script generates a random past date in dd/mm/yyyy format

function currentYear()
{
var $today = new Date();
var $dd = $today.getDate();
var $mm = $today.getMonth();
var $yyyy = $today.getFullYear();
$rand = Math.floor(Math.random()*11);
$dd = $rand+$dd;
$mm = $rand+$mm;
$yyyy = $yyyy-$rand;
if($dd>28) { $dd = 28; }
if($mm>12) { $dd = 12; }
if($dd<10){$dd='0'+$dd}
if($mm<10){$mm='0'+$mm}
$randDate=$dd+"/"+$mm+"/"+$yyyy;
{
return $randDate;
}
}
currentYear();
_alert($randDate);

Thank You mohan!!!
