Dreamweaver provides a convenient Date object, which inserts the current date in whatever format you prefer and provides the option of updating that date whenever you save the file.
To insert the current date into a document:
1 | In the Document window, place the insertion point where you want the date to be inserted. |
2 | Do one of the following: |
![]() |
Choose Insert > Date. |
![]() |
Open the Object palette by choosing Window > Objects, then open the Common panel and click the Date button. |
3 | In the resulting dialog box, select a format for the name of the day of the week, a format for the date, and a format for the time. |
4 | If you want the inserted date to be updated every time you save the document, select Update Automatically on Save. If you want the date to become plain text when it's inserted and never update automatically, deselect that option. |
5 | Click OK to insert the date. |
