<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- hide me

//
var today = new Date();
var the_day = today.getDate();
var the_month = today.getMonth();
// correct for the month starting from zero
//
the_month = the_month + 1;
// create the string you want to print
//
var the_whole_date = the_month + "/" + the_day;
// show me -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
