Invalid, thrice.  Automatically killfiled because of the second.

Nonsense.

The right-hand side is deprecated in favor of “[]”.

Undeclared variable (“var” or “const” missing), unwise identifier (is not a 
constructor).

Use JSHint.

>> today = Stamp.getDate();

Date.prototype.getDate() returns the number of the day of a month, not a 
date string.

More than that, your code, if obvious syntax errors are corrected, simply 
would not do what you think it does.

Also, the HTML is still invalid.
