Hi

I am using Frontpage 2000 to create a website - I want to be able to show the current date and maybe the time on my website (not the date it was last updated). I am a relative beginner at website building (thats why I'm using Frontpage) - is it possible for me to easily do this?

Any help appreciated.

Step 1: Insert the below anywhere into the <body> section of your page where you wish the clock to be displayed

<script>
var dayarray=new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday")
var montharray=new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December")

function getthedate(){
var mydate=new Date()
var year=mydate.getYear()
if (year < 1000)
year+=1900
var day=mydate.getDay()
var month=mydate.getMonth()
var daym=mydate.getDate()
if (daym<10)
daym="0"+daym
var hours=mydate.getHours()
var minutes=mydate.getMinutes()
var seconds=mydate.getSeconds()
var dn="AM"
if (hours>=12)
dn="PM"
if (hours>12){
hours=hours-12
}
if (hours==0)
hours=12
if (minutes<=9)
minutes="0"+minutes
if (seconds<=9)
seconds="0"+seconds
//change font size here
var cdate="<small><font color='000000' face='Arial'><b>"+dayarray[day]+", "+montharray[month]+" "+daym+", "+year+" "+hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds+" "+dn
+"</b></font></small>"
if (document.all)
document.all.clock.innerHTML=cdate
else if (document.getElementById)
document.getElementById("clock").innerHTML=cdate
else
document.write(cdate)
}
if (!document.all&&!document.getElementById)
getthedate()
function goforit(){
if (document.all||document.getElementById)
setInterval("getthedate()",1000)
}

</script>
<span id="clock"></span>

Step 2: Add the below into the <body> tag itself, like this:
<body onLoad="goforit()">

Configuring the date- You can change the font type, size, and color of the date. To do so, go to the line "//change font configuration here" in the above code. Right below that line contains the simple HTML tags that you should change to change the font.

Thank you for your help, very much appreciated. I had managed to find some code just before I saw your post - so I am now sorted.

Thanks again
