I need to add an interactive date and time function in my website. I am using brackets to code, does anyone know what code I would need to type in to make it work.

When you say interactive, what do you exatly mean. If it is a form input the you will likely want to use a server side programming language (*cough* php *cough*).

Plus why don't you show us what you have at the moment? It will give us a better idea of what you are aiming for.

When you post to the forums, you have a "Code" option above.

First of all try to extract your styling with the HTML. Use CSS for that.

I think getting the link tag INSIDE THE HEAD tag would also be a good place to start.

Yes I just saw you included a css file.

 

But this is still styled inline:  

 <div style="position:absolute;
            top:200px;
            left:20px;
            width:10%;">
    <a href="Pre-Made%20Sandwiches%20Page.html"><p id="rcorners">Pre-Made sandwiches</p></a>

Try to avoid that.

Someone copy and paste it correctly so I can edit it xD 

This is what you got now: 

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Heading_CSS.css"/>
<head>
<title>That's Great Home Page</title>
</head>

 

Now do this:

  

    
<head>
 	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Heading_CSS.css"/>
	<title>That's Great Home Page</title>
</head>

To INCLUDE files or libraries, always do it inside the <head> tags ;)

They told you [ code ] [ /code ] with spaces so that it would show up in the forum post. You need to remove those spaces to actually make the tags work.

 

It's not entirely clear yet what sort of date/time functionality you want the site to have, but most examples I can think of require some Javascript to actually work. The HTML is just interface and structural elements, such as date and time fields for the user to type information, for example: 

<form name="myForm">
	<input type="date">
	<input type="time">
</form>

But if you want them to actually do anything when submitted, that's likely to require scripting.
