In a filter I can specify 'now' to symbolize today.

Can I do the same with a views argument?

Yes, you can set the default argument to "Current Date"
Add an argument
Select "Date: Date (node)" or "Date: Date (users)" as your argument type
Under "Action to take if argument is not present:" Select "Provide default argument"
Under "Provide default argument options" Select "Current Date"
Choose the date field for your argument.

This will make the view argument default to "Current Date" when no argument is supplied.

my view has the following url

myview/%term/listing/%date/%uid

so if I want to pass in todays date, how do I do that

myview/all/listing//1

or

myview/all/listing/now/1

Still need it. If I need to pass in the current date, how do I do that? In this case, I can't use the default argument.
Thanks.

That's what the default argument IS, you're saying you want the default to be the system date. There's no way to do this except a default argument, why can't you use one?
