as you will see soon I’m giving the first steps in the world of web design.

I’m sorry if the question is basic but I really need to learn how to do this.

can somebody help me with this script:

<Script Language="javascript">
<!--

     dt = new Date()
     var stemp;
     var stamp;

     var dt_hour = dt.getUTCHours() ;

     var dt_minute = dt.getUTCMinutes() ;

     var dt_second = dt.getUTCSeconds() ;

     
     

     if (dt_minute < 10)

           dt_minute = '0' + dt_minute ;

     

     if (dt_second < 10)

           dt_second = '0' + dt_second ;
     

     stemp = dt_hour+ ":" + dt_minute + ":" + dt_second ;
   stamp =dt_hour + 7 + ":" + dt_minute + ":" + dt_second ;
     ste=dt_hour
     sta=dt_hour + 7
     
     if (sta > 24)
     stamp= dt_hour - 17 + ":" + dt_minute + ":" + dt_second ;


document.write("<center>"+"<b>"+"<font color=#0099CC size=2>"

if ((ste > 7) && (ste <19))
document.write("<img src='sol.gif'>"+"<br>"
else
document.write("<img src= 'lua.gif'>"+"<br>"
document.write("Hora de Lisboa  "+stemp+"<br>"

if ((sta > 7) && (sta <19))
document.write("<img src= 'sol.gif'>"+"<br>"
else
document.write("<img src= 'lua.gif'>"+"<br>"
document.write("Hora de Jacarta  "+stamp+"<br>"
document.write("</center>"+"</b>"+"</font>"

//-->
</script>

this script probably will shock some of you. I know... I know.. but as I told I’m giving the fist steps

The question: the clocks doesn't move and i don't know where to use the setTimout()

can some body help me please?

Thanks

This script updates the time in a form text area.


<script language="JavaScript">

<!--

var clockID = 0;

function UpdateClock() {
  if(clockID) {
     clearTimeout(clockID);
     clockID  = 0;
  }

  var tDate = new Date();

  document.theClock.theTime.value = ""
                                  + tDate.getHours() + ":"
                                  + tDate.getMinutes() + ":"
                                  + tDate.getSeconds();
 
  clockID = setTimeout("UpdateClock()", 1000);
}
function StartClock() {
  clockID = setTimeout("UpdateClock()", 500);
}

function KillClock() {
  if(clockID) {
     clearTimeout(clockID);
     clockID  = 0;
  }
}

//-->

</script>
<body onload="StartClock()" onunload="KillClock()">
<center><form name="theClock">
<input type=text name="theTime" size=8>
<form></center>

it wouldn't be too difficult to add another time zone.

Instead work out the time left untill the current minute is up, then setTimeout() for that, at whcih point you update the clock text, and set a new time-out for 1 minute.]]> 02/14/04, 045 04 2004 2004:%i:1076814287 22:04:47 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/scripting/javascript_clock/#p371
