Question closed! How to prefil a current date input using HTML CSS?

Hi, I use HTML/CSS for filling in forms online and the output is a document PDF. Is there a HTML/CSS-only solution for adding a current (system)date dd/mm/yyyy to this document, without using javascript or php? Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry you would have to use javascript :( let date = new Date() console.log(date.getFullYear()) you can dynamically change HTML's display of date from javascript document.getElementById("yourDate").innerText = date

The reason of not using JS, is that we are using XML for filling in fields/forms. The data is used to produce documents in pdf, like personalized contracts for example.

JME I already thought something like that, because I can't find any solution on the web. Just a time attribute which isn't working....
