ASP HAS A VERY HANDY Inbuild Function Called Formator ().
Let's start with the now () Function to get the current date and time Into a variable
<%
DIM TodaySdate
TodaySdate = now ()
%>
Now We can use the formatdatetime function to format ot date variable in a variety of ways.
First Let's See How TodaySdate Appears:
<%
Response.write todaysdate
%>
Result: 2/14/2005 12:34:41 PM
Using 0 - The VbGneraldDate Format Creates A Date As Short Date (if include), and Time As long time.
<% Response.write formatdatetime (TodaySdate, 0)
%>
Result: 2/14/2005 12:34:41 PM
Using 1 - The VBlongDate Shows The Date As Long Date
<%
Response.write formatdatetime (TodaySdate, 1)
%>
RESULT: Monday, February 14, 2005
Using 2 - The VbshortDate Shows The Date As Short Date
<%
Response.write formatdatetime (TodaySdate, 2)
%>
RESULT: 2/14/2005
USING 3 - The VBlongTime Format Shows The Time As long time.
<%
Response.write formatdatetime (TodaySdate, 3)
%>
Result: 12:34:41 PM
USING 4 - The VBShortTime Format Creates The Current Time in 24 Format (HH: mm)
<%
Response.write formatdatetime (TodaySdate, 4)
%>
Result: 12:34
INTERNATIONAL DATE AND TIMEYOU CAN Use the session.lcid property to change the formatting of the date and time.
For example
<% Session.lcid = 2057%> will set the date and time to UK format (DD / MM / YYYY instead of MM / DD / YYYY) Here's a list of international locales. Bear in mind that setting these will also change currency formatting .
.data {font-size: 10px}
