Write local time to page

Hi,

How can I modify this script so that the local time shows on my home page at load, with no button- or link-clicking necessary? In other words, I want my local time to write automatically on my home page at load, but I don't want it in a separate alert box/window.

I tried changing "alert" in the function to "document.write" and calling the function in the body, and it does write, but ON A TOTALLY SEPARATE PAGE from my home page. If I keep the "alert" as-is, and call the function in the body, the time writes in an alert window. Again, not what I want. Any ideas?

<head>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">



</script>

</head>

<body>

<div align="center">
Click <a href="javascript:showlocaltime()">[here]</a> to find the current local time.
</div>

Thanks for your help.

When I tried this, I got an error saying "today" was undefined. Any other ideas?

whoops, sorry, didn't take a close enough look at the code.

<head>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">



</script>

</head>

<body>

<script>
document.write(showlocaltime());
</script>

</body>

Hey,

All is well. Thanks much. I've been beating my head against the wall for weeks trying to figure this out.

Thanks for your time, energy and willingness to share your knowledge.
