Hey man,

Well, Treehouse taught me that when I'm having a difficulty, I have to check the documentation. So if you follow the link below, you'll get the date instance documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date

If you read and scroll down to the examples, you'll see code snippets that you can easily take and implement in your own javascript.

Which will be something like that:

<script type="text/javascript"> var currentDate = new Date(); var day = currentDate.getDate(); var month = currentDate.getMonth() + 1; var year = currentDate.getFullYear(); document.write("<b>" + day + "/" + month + "/" + year + "</b>"); </script>

This will give a date on this format: 21/7/2015

Hope this helps,
