	};

	function getUTCDateFunc(){
			var myDate = new Date(); 
	    	alert(myDate.getUTCDate());
	    	}
	</script>	
</head>

<div style="background: #ffdddd; width:'100%';" 
         align="center">
  <font color="#000012" size="12pt">

  </font>
 </div>
  <center>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <input type="button" onclick="getUTCDateFunc();"
