Michael,
I have to agree despite my limited experience. My code below with the ID and
the getElementById() works fine. Nonetheless, I appreciated your assistance.
All suggestions worked to the final solution. I included the
toLocaleTimeString();
code just to get the time and no date.
Thanks agin.

<script type="text/javascript">
function show_now() {
var my_time = new Date();
document.getElementById('myDate').value = my_time.toLocaleTimeString();
}
</script>
<form name="myForm">
<input type="text" name="myDate" id="myDate" size="9">
<input type=button value="Bounce Start Time" onclick="show_now();">
</form>

Michael,
you do indeed need an ID to be defined to use getElementById(), the clue is
in the function itself, it gets the DOM reference for an object by its ID,
if you do not have such an ID then it will not find the object.
Feel free to look it up on the w3c site or similar.
