HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
 <meta charset="UTF-8">
 <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
 <title>Document</title>
 <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

<body>
 <p>Todays date is: <span id="date"></span></p>
 
 <script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

CSS

*{
 padding: 0;
 margin: 0;
}

body{
 min-height: 100vh;
 display: flex;
 align-items: center;
 justify-content: center;
 background-color: #272727;

JavaScript

dateDisplay = document.getElementById('date');

let date = new Date();

dateDisplay.innerHTML = date.getDate() + '/' + (date.getMonth() + 1) + '/' + date.getFullYear();
