This may help. You probably just want it to change the time every second right? As the date will still be the same.

Here is some code. Hope it helps.

<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function getTime(){
var when=new Date();
var month=when.getMonth() + 1;
var day=when.getDate();
var year=when.getYear();
var hour=when.getHours();
var minutes=when.getMinutes();
var seconds=when.getSeconds();

//Fix Time So >10 has a 0

if (seconds<10){
seconds="0" + seconds
}
if (minutes<10){
minutes="0" + minutes
}

time=(month + "-" + day + "-" + year + " " + hour + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds);
}

function writeTime()
{
getTime();
document.getElementById('timespot').innerHTML=time;
timer=setTimeout("writeTime()",1000);
}

</script>
</head>
<body onload="writeTime()">
<div id="timespot"></div>
</html>

Fix these two and it will work. ;)

var nu=new Date();
var month=nu.getMonth();
var maandtekst=maandArray[(nu.getMonth()+1)];
var day=nu.getDate();
var dagtekst=dagArray[(nu.getDay()+1)];
var year=nu.getYear();
var hour=nu.getHours();
var minutes=nu.getMinutes();
var seconds=nu.getSeconds();
