Hi,

I have got a HTML Form set up with a drop down menu, allowing users to pick the date, month and the year. Currently, the form does not automatically load up the current date, month or year in the form. Can anyone advise to me to some sort of programming such as JavaScript that would enable the form to display the current date, month and year.

All help is appreciated.

Andrew
