[Javascript] How do I insert the actual (not user's computer) date with javascript (no ASP)?

Wed Nov 21 11:28:26 CST 2001

Doesn't this all work based on the system clock (meaning the user's machine
clock)? I've never heard of a way to get the server date without using some
kind of server-side scripting.

[Javascript] How do I insert the actual (not user's computer) date with
javascript (no ASP)?
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2001 16:50:22 -0000
I am looking to insert the actual date on a page that would update
based on the server date or atomic clock date or something with a
quick javascript or something. I don't have ASP so I can't use the
date() object or whatever.
Please help!
Thanks,
Bobby
