var today = new Date()
var year = today.getYear()
if (year > 1100) {year -= 1900}
document.write(today.getDate()+" "+(today.getMonth()+1)+" "+(year+1900));

This produces the correct date in both NS and IE (my versions at least). Why
did I choose year > 1100? So that there will be a Y3K problem for people to
sort out ;-).
