I would like to have a clock that runs to GMT on some pages thanks...

Dear GOD

Here is the code for a GMT clock. Unfortunately it isn't very pretty and doesn't work with all versions of Netscape. It works with Internet Explorer though.


<!-- hide

var output = '<\/FORM><\/CENTER>';
document.write(output);

function showTheTime() {
var today = new Date();
var intro = "The time GMT is ";
var GMT = intro + today.toGMTString();
document.clock[0].value=GMT;
setTimeout("showTheTime()",1000);
}

showTheTime();
end hide -->

Greetings Amy !!!

Thanks for replying so promptly...

I've had a bit of trouble unfortunately trying to get it work...

Any other ideas ???

That's odd. It works on my page. Can you see the clock at the top of my page?

* Just passing on a message from GOD... *

No, your page comes up with a netscape alert & the page doesn't show it like when I tried it on another page...

M.K*

I did tell God A that I didn't think it worked in Netscape. It doesn't show up at all in my copy of Netscape but perhaps I have the Java alerts switched off. I'll stop being so lazy and make it work in Netscape too.

document.write(output);

function showTheTime() {
var today = new Date();
var intro = "The time GMT is ";
var GMT = intro + today.toGMTString();
document.clock.box.value=GMT;
setTimeout("showTheTime()",1000);
}

showTheTime();
//end hide -->

Thanks !!!

I'll give it a try tommorrow...

Who knows MAD GERALD might even give you a big wet sloppy kiss in person !!!
