I would like to know how can I make a dynamic time (2:58:08 AM) and date (dd/mm/yyyy) into a form like textfield.the date will auto increasing like
2:58:08 AM
2:58:09 AM
2:58:10 AM
2:58:11 AM

I have a script to show the time already (no date scipt yet) but I can't put it into the textfield. I'm not good in Java Script.

Then, when we submit a form , it will send the current value of date and time to a program to do some works.

Thank you
Kee

just set the form value with the time script you have....

document.FormName.ElementName.value = theTimeVariable

Now, I can do it. I have a two text field. The first is time text field, and date text field. the problem is that I can't invoke both of date and time.
my code is following :

Quote:

then , I used "<BODY onLoad="show_clock(), show_date()">". It makes the clock textfield don't increase the time. How can I fix them ?

Thank you

You need to separate function calls with semicolon not comma.
But you can make it as a single function by just including the date part in the show_clock() function.

Change this line:

document.kee.time.value = myclock;

to:

document.kee.time.value = Digital.getDate() + "/" + (Digital.getMonth()+1) + "/" + Digital.getFullYear() + " " + myclock;

and then onload:

<BODY onLoad="show_clock()">
