HI Bill,

Is there a variable that will return the current time?

Chuck

Hmmm, no variable, but the Now() function has a variety of 
forms, one of which includes the time in specific locations 
inside the returned string--you can then parse with the 
TextMid() function to extract current time.

Sorry for the delay answering this--fell through the cracks 
due to an e-mail server reboot.

Hi Bill,

I've used the minute function to extract the minutes of a 
time and have assigned that value to a string (test).  Yet 
I would like to assign that same value to a variable in 
screen surfer. Here is my code:

********
<Script language="VBscript">
    DIM Test
    Test = Minute(Now())
</script>

<TEDECLARE VAR NAME="Minute" TYPE="int" LENGTH=2 DATA="">

**assign Test to Minute**
<teset minute = "test">????????

<TEIF Template.Minute=30>
  <td>etc. etc. etc.

********

I hope that wasn't confusing.  Any information on this 
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Chuck

Chuck,

You've been bitten by the server-side/client-side confusion 
spider.

Your VBscript is running at the client, while your variables 
are running at the server...not the same place!

There is a Screensurfer Now() function which you can combine 
with the TextMid function to get the same result, as in

<teset minute=TextMid(Now("local",5),14,2)>

There might be an error in my offsets, but testing should 
demonstrate if it works or not!

Thanks Bill,

Everything works great!!!

Chuck
