Add current date using inline javascript
Question
The date is not showing up in the output when I run the following code. I can't seem to figure out why the date won't show up...
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>document.write() Example</title> </head> <body> <p>The current date and time is: <script type=”text/javascript”> document.write(“<strong>” + (new Date()).toString() + “</strong>”); </script> </p> </body> </html>

Because you are using these types of quotes: “ ... ” . You need to use " ... "
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<strong>" + (new Date()).toString() + "</strong>");
</script>
Snippet:
document.write("<strong>" + (new Date()).toString() + "</strong>");

Do it as the way the samurais do it...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>The current date and time is: <span id="myDate"></span> </p>
<script>
var d = new Date;
var date = d.toString();
span = document.getElementById('myDate');
txt = document.createTextNode(date);
span.innerText = txt.textContent;
</script>
</body>
</html>

You can try this snippet. It is similar to what you used but avoid using document.write.
Plus is safer because it cannot overwrite all the document if it was loaded.
<p id="date"></p> <script> date = document.getElementById("date"); date.innerHTML = new Date(); </script>
