Why not do this....

Add this to your header:

<script>
function SetDateTime() {
	document.myForm.DateTime.value = new Date();
	// Change myForm to the name of your Form
}
</script>

In the form tag add:

	onSubmit="SetDateTime()"


In your form add:

	<input type="hidden" name="DateTime" value="">

Therefore when the form is submitted, you get the Date time stamp from the browser
loaded into the hidden form field called DateTime.

Should work.
