Hi irina,

I'm new to JS too, and never played around with the date functions.

I came up with this... let me know if it works out.

RightNow = new Date();

document.write("Today's date is " +
(RightNow.getMonth()+1)+"-" + RightNow.getDate() + "-"
+ RightNow.getFullYear() + ". You entered this Web Page at exactly: " +
RightNow.getHours() + ":" +
RightNow.getMinutes() + " and " +
RightNow.getSeconds() + " seconds");

document.write("<br><br>");

RightNow.setDate(RightNow.getDate()+5);

document.write("5 days from now will be: " + (RightNow.getMonth()+1) + "-" +
RightNow.getDate());

document.write("<br><br>");

<rory disposition="still sleeping" alt="|0"/>
