Can you post what the correct and incorrect dates look like? Also, why is your code wrapped in an HTML comment? — Rob M.

Try this one:

<script type="text/javascript">

 var today = new Date();
 var year = (today.getYear() < 1000) ? (today.getYear()+1900) : today.getYear();
 document.write("Date:"+today.getDate()+"/"+(today.getMonth()+1)+"/"+year);

</script>

Add the var to assign the variable and add + sign to concat the string.

@RaghavendraM After the years 2000 there is the problem to identify the years to the unix timestamp added the 100 before the years 2000. that's why it is showing like this. so to get the exact year you need to sum 1900 with current year. Also mark the answer as accepted.

To use the dd/mm/yy format ( e.g. 29/11/2013 ):

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var date = new Date();
var d  = date.getDate();
var day = (d < 10) ? '0' + d : d;
var m = date.getMonth() + 1;
var month = (m < 10) ? '0' + m : m;
var yy = date.getYear();
var year = (yy < 1000) ? yy + 1900 : yy;

document.write(day + "/" + month + "/" + year);
 //--></script>
