Do i need get time from server and pass it to the js code? How can i do it. i am using classic asp

Answer 1

If you only care about the date you can simply add the date to a javascript variable when you are creating the page. Something like the following

<script type="text/javascript">
  var date = <%=date()%>;
</script>

Just use that date var to set the date for the datepicker.

This is a little approach.

Step 1: Create an hidden input field anywhere on the page..

<input type="hidden" name="mydate" value=""/>

Step 2: Insert the php date code in the value attribute..

<?php echo date('D, d, Y') ?>

Step 3: now use jquery to get the value of this field and assign it to a variable..
