javascript - How To Make A Default Text Display For This Script? -

i'm using script display current date someone, want 2 things it.

first, want change format mm/dd/yy, it's showing year in 2 digits.

then second, how can add default? if it's not able pulled someone, show "today" instead of date?

here's script if help:

 var currenttime = new date() var month = currenttime.getmonth() + 1 var day = currenttime.getdate() var year = currenttime.getfullyear() document.write(month + "/" + day + "/" + year) 

working fiddle demo

add div html , put default text inside it:

<div id="date">today</div> 

then javascript, change it, , if user don't have javascript, remains not changed:

// create date var currenttime = new date(); var month = currenttime.getmonth() + 1; var day = currenttime.getdate(); var year = currenttime.getfullyear(); var date = month + "/" + day + "/" + (year + '').substring(2);  // insert document.getelementbyid('date').innerhtml = date; 

• [!] don't forget add js after element or add document ready.
