How to set input type date's default value to today?

Question

The HTML5 input types are great, Opera\'s new built-in date picker is a breeze, and Chrome has at least supported the new input type with a spin-wheel implementation.

Answer 1

And for those using ASP VBScript

<%
'Generates date in yyyy-mm-dd format
Function GetFormattedDate(setDate)
strDate = CDate(setDate)
strDay = DatePart("d", strDate)
strMonth = DatePart("m", strDate)
strYear = DatePart("yyyy", strDate)
If strDay < 10 Then
  strDay = "0" & strDay
End If
If strMonth < 10 Then
  strMonth = "0" & strMonth
End If
GetFormattedDate = strYear & "-" & strMonth & "-" & strDay
End Function
%>

And then in the body, your element should look something like this

Cheers!
