<script type="text/javascript">

<!--today=new Date();
 document.write("Date:",today.getDate(),"/",today.getMonth()+1,"/",today.getYear());

Try this one:

<script type="text/javascript">

 var today = new Date();
 var year = (today.getYear() < 1000) ? (today.getYear()+1900) : today.getYear();
 document.write("Date:"+today.getDate()+"/"+(today.getMonth()+1)+"/"+year);

</script>

Add the var to assign the variable and add + sign to concat the string.

@RaghavendraM After the years 2000 there is the problem to identify the years to the unix timestamp added the 100 before the years 2000. that's why it is showing like this. so to get the exact year you need to sum 1900 with current year. Also mark the answer as accepted. – Code Lღver Nov 29 '13 at 08:11

To use the dd/mm/yy format ( e.g. 29/11/2013 ):

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var date = new Date();
var d  = date.getDate();
var day = (d < 10) ? '0' + d : d;
var m = date.getMonth() + 1;
var month = (m < 10) ? '0' + m : m;
var yy = date.getYear();
var year = (yy < 1000) ? yy + 1900 : yy;

document.write(day + "/" + month + "/" + year);
 //--></script>

Most of your answers seem to be nothing but copy and paste. You should include some of your own content. – Andrew Barber Nov 29 '13 at 07:11
