Absolutely, I am using Visual studio 2008. I tried following code in studio 2005 now but i am getting same error. Not sure why it is occuring? Really strange.. Is there any other way to get todays date in some variable? function Test() { var today = new Date(); alert(today); } <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClientClick="Test();" Text="Button" /><br />

It should work because it is a correct code. But what can be the reason for it to be failing? Everytime i try to declare any Date variable it gives me : Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object expected I have tried to reboot my pc still it doesnt work.. Is my Jscript engine corrupted or something?

I think your browser got whacked somehow. Reinstalling the browser will help you. Date is a prototype should be declared within the library of browser. :doh: :doh: It is working for all of us. Sorry cant help you. :sigh: :sigh:
