Here's a simple one that doesn't rely on DHTML, shows the date too, updates
every second, and flashes the colon (don't do that in public) so you know
it's running. Watch for line wrap on the new Array line!!:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
// set clock variables
var blink=false
var monthArray = new
Array('Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec
')
var dn="AM"
var myclock = ''
function showTime(){
var Digital=new Date()
var monthNumber=Digital.getMonth()
var month=monthArray[monthNumber]
var day=Digital.getDate()
var hours=Digital.getHours()
var minutes=Digital.getMinutes()
if (hours>11){
dn="PM"
if (hours>12) hours=hours-12
}else{
dn="AM"
}
if (hours==0) hours=12
if (minutes<=9) minutes="0"+minutes
myclock = month+' '+day+' - '
if(blink==false){
blink=true
myclock += hours+':'+minutes+' '+dn
}else{
blink=false
myclock += hours+' '+minutes+' '+dn
}
document.myClockForm.clockdisplay.value=myclock;
setTimeout("showTime()",1000);
}
//-->
</script>
<form name=myClockForm>
<input name=clockdisplay type=text style="font-family:Lucida
Console,monospace;background-color:black;color:lime;font-size:9px;text-align
:center;" class=clockdisplay value="" size=19 noedit>
</form>
