TABLE OF CONTENTS:

You can make a clock for your web page for those web site visitors that constantly need to know what time it is. You know, like rappers, who are always asking what time it is at their concerts. I mean, they have all that money to drink Crystal, pimp out those rims, and get jiggy wid it. Why can't they just buy a Casio so they don't have to interrupt their concerts all the time?

All you rappers out there...this code is for you:

<html>

<head>

document.write("Throw yo hands in da air and swang em like you only care a little");

document.write("<br />")

document.write("The Current Time is: ")

function startTime()

{

var thedate=new Date();

var h=thedate.getHours();

var m=thedate.getMinutes();

var s=thedate.getSeconds();

m=checkTime(m);

s=checkTime(s);

document.getElementById('txt').innerHTML=h+":"+m+":"+s;

t=setTimeout('startTime()',500);

}

function checkTime(i)

{

if (i<10)

{

i="0" + i;

}

return i;

}

</script>

</head>

</body>

</html>

Well that's it for this one. Come back and visit us next time when we continue the Date Object discussion.

Till then...
