HTML 5 : Source code to display Date and Time :

Solved/Closed
Arno59 -  
Hello,
I am currently redoing a website in xHTML.

Some scripts were in Javascript (displaying the date and time)

Thursday, May 12, 2016, it is 2:43 PM. 
script type="text/javascript">
 var d = new Date()
 var j = d.getDate()
 var m = d.getMonth()
 var y = d.getFullYear()
 var h = d.getHours()
 var mn = d.getMinutes()



Is it possible to do the same in HTML 5?

What is the source?

Thank you in advance

Configuration: Operating systems:
- Linux: Debian 8, Gentoo 20150505, Fedora 23, Ubuntu 15.10

    Hi

    No, it's not possible in HTML which is just a markup language. To display the time, you need a dynamic language like PHP or JavaScript.
