I have seen it in some sites....

I don't see that there's any point. I don't know about other operating
systems, but Windows displays the time in the lower right corner of the
screen anyway, and most people already have the time on their wrist or
somewhere within easy view. For those people who don't already have
ready access to the time, their need to know the time probably isn't
greater when they happen to be visiting your site than it is at any
other time. So, assuming your web pages exist for some purpose, why take
up space you could be using for that purpose to display something
virtually useless instead?

yes you're right, putting a clock is almost useless, i was asking only to
know, as I have seen it in example here:

Also whose time are you going to display?, Your time, the server's time,
the clients time...

Unless your site is

I cannot see the need...

Damn! I was waiting in great anticipation for a knockout good
reason for having a clock on your site.

1. My site is about clocks and ...

2. My site is a treatise on world time and ...

3. I am from an outer planet and wish to show my family's time to
earthlings in a good old fashioned earthly way...

4. I want a gorgeous French Antique clock on my site and it would
be nice if it showed the correct local time for any visitor...

The clock showed here
http://www.tgcom.mediaset.it/spettac...lo224282.shtml

is showing the time read in my computer (and I suppose it shows the time in
your computer), so in case one have a clock in own web site, it must show
the clients time read on their computer.
In any case, if one has a little space left in his web site, he could put it
there....I think it isn't a bad idea,

Depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

I really like that page. Just looked it over for now but will return to
check out all clocks more thoroughly. Btw, 1 css error which may be a
simple forgotten '#' and a warning which possibly could be dealt with by
offsetting colors by 1.

Thank you very much. I have used one of those clock and put it in one of my
pages here
http://www.orefelici.com/wedding.html

If I use IE it's OK and I like it!!
But...if I use Mozilla Firefox. it is invisible...... why?

If I haven't made some mistakes it depends probably on different functions
of these browsers.
If it is so, it is better for me if I don't put this flash things.
Anyway they are interesting and funny in some way!

Well, crap! I thought I just validated all the CSS and HTML. I guess
I'll have to do it again /apres Jim Beam/. But, thanks for the heads
up. And the interest!

Fair disclosure: As I say on the Web page, I did not create any of
these. I just collected them through searches and give attribution
where possible.
