How to create a Date feature in Java?

Hey everyone, i'm new to Java and no nothing really just basic concepts in editing and stuff if I would have a code... but I'm looking for a simple code

just a date function

so it displays todays date for everyday, and the option for me to change the font size, colour and style?

much appreciated!!

thanks!

Question,

How do you plan on displaying the date? Is it going to be part of a GUI or are you printing it somewhere?

I would suggest first making a method that returns the date. To help, look at this class

Calendar (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0)

well I just want it to display on the top left of my site. Here is the code I already have:

<script language = "JavaScript">


var now = new Date();
var dayNames = new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thu rsday","Friday","Saturday");
var monNames = new Array("January","February","March","April","May"," June","July","August","September","October","Novem ber","December");
document.write("Today's date is " + dayNames[now.getDay()] + " " + monNames[now.getMonth()] + " " + now.getDate() + ", " + now.getFullYear());

</script>



It works, its just that I can't figure out how to change the font style, size and colour of it...

Ohhh, you're talking about JavaScript not Java, those are two different things...

Sorry, I'm unfortunately not going to be able to help you, but hopefully someone else knows a little bit of JavaScript.

maybe you know a way to display the date in Java? where I can change the font size and colour? or it's only done through scripts?

w3schools can be your friend lol

Check out this link, Maybe it can help you

Tryit Editor v1.4

I would just substitute your date in where the data is.

awesome thanks! will give this a shot :)
