Write Time

[Hawk]

How can you write the time every second. I am using document.write but it wipes out the previous time. I want as each second pass, the next time will be on the next line.

Thanks

I don't know what to search on this one.

The easiest way would be to update a form element every second, otherwise you'll need to use dynamic layers.

Alternatively you could download a pre-made time script from javascriptkit or dynamicdrive.

<div id="clock">8:88</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var clk=document.getElementById("clock").firstChild;

function time() {
var minutes=new Date().getMinutes();
var hours=new Date().getHours();
var seconds=new Date().getSeconds();
if(hours<12) hours-=12;

clk.nodeValue=hours+":"+minutes+:":"+seconds;
setTimeout(time,1000);
} time();
</script>

I gave a sample script that does just that on a previous post. Refer to:

nolachrymose, your script gave me an error.


JoeP, does your script keep the previous content? I was looking for something that writes the new time out on a new line every second. It will keep the previous content.

Mark, I will look into that.

I just can't get the scroll to work but something like this.

		<script language="JavaScript">
			var T = window.open("",'Window_ID','menubar=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no');
			T.resizeTo(200,200);
			T.moveTo((screen.width - 200)/2,(screen.height - 200)/2);

			var timerID = null
			var	timerRunning = false
			function stopclock()
			{
				if(timerRunning)
					clearInterval(timerID)
					timerRunning = false
			}
			function startclock()
			{
				// Make sure the clock is stopped
				stopclock()
				timerID = window.setInterval("showtime()",1000)
				timerRunning = true
			}
			function showtime()
			{
				var now = new Date()
				var hours = now.getHours()
				var minutes = now.getMinutes()
				var seconds = now.getSeconds()
				var timeValue = "" + ((hours > 12) ? hours - 12 : hours)
				timeValue += ((minutes < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + minutes
				timeValue += ((seconds < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + seconds
				timeValue += (hours >= 12) ? " P.M." : " A.M."
				//top.Right_Area.document.writeln(timeValue + '<br>');

				if (T.closed)
				{
					clearInterval(timerID);
				}
				else
				{
					T.document.writeln(timeValue + '<br>');
					//T.scrollBy(0, 30);
					T.focus();
				}
			}
		</script>
