Hello Sam

Here is a bit of code I use to display a running clock.

It uses a form text field and the clock is synchronised to your pc clock.



<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">

<html>
<head><title>Clock</title>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--

function showtime() {
 var time = new Date();

 day = time.getDay();
 year = time.getYear();
 month = time.getMonth();
 date = time.getDate();
 hrs = time.getHours();
 mins = time.getMinutes();
 secs = time.getSeconds();

 if (mins < 10) mins = "0"+mins;
 if (hrs < 10) hrs = "0"+hrs;

 time=date+"/"+(month+1)+"/"+year+"  "+hrs+":"+mins;
 document.clock.display.value = time;

 setTimeout("showtime()", 60000 - (secs*1000));
}

// -->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY onLoad="showtime()">
<FORM NAME="clock">
<P><STRONG>Current date and time:</STRONG>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="display" SIZE="14"></P>
</FORM>

</body>
</html>

Hope it Helps
Peter Newton

wanted  the script to refresh everytime the minute changes so as to be
almost in synchrony with the client's system date.  To do this, i placed the
script in a floating frame and placed a meta tag to refresh the time page
every ten seconds.  The problem I am encoutering right now is the existence
of up and down arrow heads in the Floating frame when viewed in IE5... I
also tried to view it in IE4 and it shows ok without those up and down arrow
heads... but in IE5, well...

Presently, I only have a rough idea.  Anyway, I hope you could give me more
options.
