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

Question

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.

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

Thnx "maf" but unfortunately our software environment doesn't allow JS :-( , Just HTML CSS.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

Can you give me an example of the script-tag?

Answer 8

Unfortunately, I was wondering I could save time by prefilling dates in the forms. A good excuse to study JS, thnx a lot maf.

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....
