<script language=Javascript>
//this function is called when the body loads
//what this function does is gets the current date
//as the object d
//d.getDate() simply returns the day of the month
//and all we do after getting the day of the month is
//assigning it to the dayOfMonth element of the form
//which is our select box
//I am using date-1 in here because the array starts at 0
//but the date starts at 1
function selectDay() {
var d = new Date();
date = d.getDate();
dateForm.dayOfMonth.selectedIndex = date-1;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="selectDay();">
<form name=dateForm>
<select name=dayOfMonth>
<script language=Javascript>
//didn't bother to write the same 31 times
for(var i=1; i<=31; i++) {
document.write("<option value="+i+">"+i);
}

</select>
</form>
</body>
