JScript DateTime Numeric format

[vass0922]

OK this can NOT be that difficult but trying to find anything on google on JScript thats not .NET related is getting tougher

Ok ALL I need is the datetime in numeric format.. it has to be the date and the time because I'm using this as a unique id and this will be faster than using a unique id called from a database.

Mind this will be called from a webpage so make sure that is possible...

For instance...

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" FOR=chkPartReqd EVENT=onclick>
window.parent.frames(0).document.theFCO.ControlVal ueChanged(document.forms[0].chkPartReqd);
window.parent.frames(0).document.theFCO.setVarForm ula("GlobalID", DateTime.Now());
</SCRIPT>

What goes into that bold area?!

depends what format you need it in?
mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss is ignorant because afaik, there's now default method for creating this format, you'd have to create a date object(var dt = new Date(); etc) and conactenate everything together, ...pain in the ___!!
or, you could just use plain ol' Date(), it'll return a format of: "Thu Jun 5 16:58:24 MDT 2003" which just might suffice...

here's a couple links that may or may not help!
couple good functions
whole buncha date stuff!!
some stuff from MS...

oh, and does it have to be JScript?? 'cause all them examples are javascript!!

Ahhhhh
dateObj.getTime() Does get what I believe is what I need
GMT milliseconds (+ or -) since zero hours GMT, January 1, 1970
1054901352000

Fabulous!! I'll give it a shot, thanks for the help!!

Oh and how would I say in this stuff If value <> = Then getthisvalue...

man I feel like such a newbie lol
something like...

var vGlobalId = 0
window.parent.frames(0).document.theFCO.ControlValueChanged(document.forms[0].chkPartReqd);
vGlobalId = window.parent.frames(0).document.theFCO.getVarFormula("GlobalID");
If vGlobalID != 0 Then
  window.parent.frames(0).document.theFCO.getVarFormula("GlobalID", datObj.GetTime())
End IF

Hmm need stupid curly braces I think

jscript and javascript are like c++/java

If vGlobalID != 0 Then
  window.parent.frames(0).document.theFCO.getVarFormula("GlobalID", datObj.GetTime())
End IF

should be

if ( vGlobalID != 0 ){
  window.parent.frames(0).document.theFCO.getVarFormula("GlobalID", datObj.GetTime())
}

ciao!
