Re: Current Date & Time

you can just use Java Script for those if you want. It get the date and time from the users machine and displays it on the site where you stick the script. The only problem with this is it won't be accurate if there machine's date and time are not accurate. It is basically just showing what their PC is already saying.

Here is the one for post a Date, just copy and past this script bellow into a table in the spot you want it. ----


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

// ***********************************************

// Get today's current date.
var now = new Date();

// Array list of days.
var days = new Array('Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thu rsday','Friday','Saturday');

// Array list of months.
var months = new Array('January','February','March','April','May',' June','July','August','September','October','Novem ber','December');

// Calculate the number of the current day in the week.
var date = ((now.getDate()<10) ? "0" : "")+ now.getDate();

// Calculate four digit year.
function fourdigits(number) {
return (number < 1000) ? number + 1900 : number;
}

// Join it all together
today = days[now.getDay()] + ", " +
months[now.getMonth()] + " " +
date + ", " +
(fourdigits(now.getYear())) ;

// Print out the data.
document.write(" " +today+ ".");

//--></SCRIPT>



Now here is the script for time:

//PAST THIS INTO THE HEAD

<style>
<!--
..styling{
background-color:black;
color:lime;
font: bold 16px MS Sans Serif;
padding: 3px;
}
-->
</style>




//PASTE THIS INTO THE BODY FOR THE CLOCK

<span id="digitalclock" class="styling"></span>

<script>
<!--

var alternate=0
var standardbrowser=!document.all&&!document.getElemen tById

if (standardbrowser)
document.write('<form name="tick"><input type="text" name="tock" size="11"></form>')

function show(){
if (!standardbrowser)
var clockobj=document.getElementById? document.getElementById("digitalclock") : document.all.digitalclock
var Digital=new Date()
var hours=Digital.getHours()
var minutes=Digital.getMinutes()
var dn="AM"

if (hours==12) dn="PM"
if (hours>12){
dn="PM"
hours=hours-12
}
if (hours==0) hours=12
if (hours.toString().length==1)
hours="0"+hours
if (minutes<=9)
minutes="0"+minutes

if (standardbrowser){
if (alternate==0)
document.tick.tock.value=hours+" : "+minutes+" "+dn
else
document.tick.tock.value=hours+" "+minutes+" "+dn
}
else{
if (alternate==0)
clockobj.innerHTML=hours+"<font color='lime'>&nbsp;:&nbsp;</font>"+minutes+" "+"<sup style='font-size:1px'>"+dn+"</sup>"
else
clockobj.innerHTML=hours+"<font color='black'>&nbsp;:&nbsp;</font>"+minutes+" "+"<sup style='font-size:1px'>"+dn+"</sup>"
}
alternate=(alternate==0)? 1 : 0
setTimeout("show()",1000)
}
window.onload=show

//-->
</script>

at the top of this script you can tweek it for a different back ground color and font color and other things.

I hope this all helped. Go and run a search on freeware java scripts, there is some pretty cool stuff out there.

I don't suffer from insanity.......I enjoy every minute of it!
