<SCRIPT type = "text/javascript">
var message = "Off Line";
var now= new Date();
var hh = now.getHours();
var mm = now.getMinutes();
if (hh==18 && mm >= 5) {message = "On Line"}
if (hh==19) {message = "On Line"}
if (hh==20 && mm <=45) {message = "On Line"}
alert (message);
</SCRIPT>

Is that what you want? Note that the time is GMT - you may need to allow for this or use local time.

Also, this applies to the time that the page was loaded. If you want to change the status message while the user is on line then you need to make it into a function to be called periodically.

Try this. In theory it should work. You have to adjust manually each time when the the summer hour of the server Local Time is added or not.

The code should work according to the server's Local Time. That means it will show "Server On Line" each day, at 20:05 server's Local Time (the user's time could be other). The code will check the time each 1 minute.
