The Code



$w.onReady(function () {
    unixCode();
});

function unixCode() {
 var timeStamp = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
    $w('#yourElement').value = timeStamp.toString();
}

// Change the name of #yourElement to the element ID name on your page.  If your element is a user input element set the ending to read .value if the element is a text element set the ending to be .text
