Is it possible to have a form display a dynamic message based on the day of the week. What I want to do is have a message displayed on Wednesday of every week but not on any other day.

Hi Bradley,
Yes this can be done with php or Jquery. Here's the Jquery method. Change the myid to the actual id of the item your hiding or showing.
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
var jQ = $.noConflict(true);
// version 1
jQ(document).ready(function () {
//day == Sun=0, Mon=1, Tues=2, Wed=3, Thurs=4, Fri=5, Sat=6
var d = new Date();
var dayOfWeek = d.getDay();
if (dayOfWeek == 3) {
jQ('#myid').show();
}
else {
jQ('#myid').hide();
}
});
</script>
<div id="myid">Today is Wednesday</div>
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
