Your calling toDate() as a method on the jQuery object, which it
isn't; it's simply a function that prints out the date (and you should
maybe rethink the document.write, it's deprecated). If you want the
output to appear as the content of the element with id 'today' then do
something like
$("div").filter("#today").text( toDate() );
