On This Date...

[John Lund]

How does one write JavaScript code for an image of something that happened
or appeared on this date? For example, today (as I'm writing this) is
October 2nd, and I would like to have an image of something that happened on
October 2nd.

How does one write JavaScript code for an image of something that
happened or appeared on this date? For example, today (as I'm writing
this) is October 2nd, and I would like to have an image of something
that happened on October 2nd.

<script>
function two(x) {return ((x>9)?"":"0")+x}
d = new Date();
img = "happened"+two(getMonth(d)+1)+two(getDate(d))+".jpg"
document.write("<img src='"+img+"'>")
// This shows the image "happened1002.jpg" on your date
</script>
