[pigletxx]

Hi,
I'm not sure where to post this..eeekkk!
But i'd like to add today's date & possibly the time to my website... does blue voda offer a programme that does this?

Many thanks

Yes. In BlueVoda, go to Insert> Ready To Use Javascripts.

The javascript in BV does that for you.

It's me again... found insert>javascript - but not - Ready to Use Javascripts. so what are they?

Might be easier & less frustrating for you if maybe you take me through it from the beginning. so far I have my index.html page infront of me. I want it to display the date maybe the time, something that will update itself.

A struggling to get it pigletxx X:o)

Hi Racefan, you have mail

Let's give our friens a hand:

Open a html box in your page. Double click it to edit it. In the window that opens put this code:

<form name=myForm>
<input type=button value="Loading..." name=clock></form>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function runClock(){
theTime = window.setTimeout("runClock()", 1000);
d = new Date();
day = d.getDay();
mon = d.getMonth();
date = d.getDate();
year = d.getYear();
hr = d.getHours();
min = d.getMinutes();
sec = d.getSeconds();
if(year<1000){year=(""+(year+11900)).substring(1,5 );}
else{year=(""+(year+10000)).substring(1,5);}
if(hr==0){ap=" AM";hr=12}
else if(hr <= 11){ap=" AM"}
else if(hr == 12){ap=" PM";hr=12}
else if(hr >= 13){ap=" PM";hr-=12}
if(min <= 9){min="0"+min}
if(sec <= 9){sec="0"+sec}
zday=new Array();
zday=["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday" ,"Friday","Saturday"];
zmon=new Array();
zmon=["January","February","March","April","May","June", "July","August","September","October","November"," December"];

document.myForm.clock.value=""+zday[day]+", "+zmon[mon]+" "+date+", "+year+" "+hr+":"+min+":"+sec+ap+"";}
runClock();
//--></script>



Put the html box wherever you like in your page.

It worked!! Thanks everso.... easy when you know how eh? lol

Can I just pick your brains on something else... is it possible for the date just to be in dark blue (navy) font without the 'box/button"?

Sorry, this is a ready made script. There are others that give separataly the date and the time, then you can combine them. Make a search

Nice one NavalD...I just borrowed it too. Works a treat. Mind having a go at solving my other nittypicky thingy. Q. is here someplace, Published site problems...It's not the 'puzzle query, I solved that. It's FTP problem I think.

Navaledesign, or Anyone:

How do I add 28 calendar days to today's date and display that value? Do you have a script for doing that?

Re: How do I add today's date to website?

No, i don't. I beleive one can be easily made if one has a reference point (sorry, i don't know what is the date according to the 28 day calendar). Give me a reference point, and the month names and i'll see if can prepare something for you.

Re: How do I add today's date to website?

All I want to do is add 28 days to whatever today's date is and display it. Todays date will always change, so that value will always change also.
