if anyone is interested i created an active clock (with the help of other scripts). i wanted to have a clock on my site but i didnt like any of the javascripts that were available. they were all based on the time of the user's computer. most of the time those clocks are wrong. including mine 🙂 so i made a script that uses the time of the server (not that the server's time is always accurate). it also displays the date. when the clock hits midnight, the page reloads displaying the new date and day. i THINK it is flawless but if anyone finds any problems let me know. theglow1@excite.com. also, i dont need credit for this. but if you do plan on using it just let me know what you think. just a thank you would be nice. 🙂 ok here is the script. -phil
<head>
<script>
function reload() {
var timeID = setTimeout("location.href = document.URL", 0)
}
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#0047D5" text="#AAD554">
<font face="arial, verdana, helvetica, default" size="-2">
<?php
$hour = date("H");
$minute = date("i");
$second =date("s");
?>
<span id="clock" style="position:absolute; left: 45px; top: 65px; width: 200px; height: 50px;"></span>

NOTE FROM THE EDITOR:
To set the record straight: I (Jason Chapman) did very little of the programming for this script on my own.
Except for minor alterations, rearranging, and combining the two above scripts, I did very little coding on my own.
It was my understanding that these scripts are available in the free domain as long as the above notices are included.
The basic interface, including the size and positioning of the numbers, is from the Digital Clock script.
The functions for timing the usage of the web page are from the Tracking Time Spent script.
