I work in a school as an IT technician. We have a plasma screen at the reception area showing pictures from school trips, a picture of the tree in the school playground, the BBC News RSS feed and the date in a red box.
The date is shown as "Tuesday 8th November 2011" format. We use a program called Sedao ImageFlyer. I've developed our current plasma screen setup and I use an HTML file called "message.html". It has some basic HTML formatting to control the size and colour of the text and the colour of the box its in for good contrast.
Since it is a static HTML file my boss and I have to change the date every day by changing the date line in the code. If there was a way to leave the file alone but have it automatically change the code for the date I'd be very happy. I did try initially using a PHP file but we'd have to install something like XAMPP and have that working at the same time.
Is there anyway I can keep the HTML file but have something change the date in message.html automatically when the computer is turned on in the morning? I'd want to keep the format of "Tuesday 8th November 2011" but have it changed to "Wednesday 9th November 2011" for tomorrow's date for example.
