[SOLVED] clock code, dynamic updating

[DeanWhitehouse]

I need a clock code that just shows hours and minutes and always updates,

e.g

you shouldn't need to refresh to show the current time.

I was given this code a while ago

<script type="text/javascript">
function startTime()
{
var today=new Date();
var h=today.getHours();
var m=today.getMinutes();
var s=today.getSeconds();
// add a zero in front of numbers<10
m=checkTime(m);
s=checkTime(s);
document.getElementById('txt').innerHTML=h+":"+m+":"+s;
t=setTimeout('startTime()',500);
}

function checkTime(i)
{
if (i<10)
  {
  i="0" + i;
  }
return i;
}
</script>

but this shows seconds, and i don't no how to change it.

<script type="text/javascript">
function startTime()
{
var today=new Date();
var h=today.getHours();
var m=today.getMinutes();
// add a zero in front of numbers<10
m=checkTime(m);
document.getElementById('txt').innerHTML=h+":"+m;
t=setTimeout('startTime()',500);
}

function checkTime(i)
{
if (i<10)
  {
  i="0" + i;
  }
return i;
}
</script>

 

I'm sorry, but I hate lazy people. =/

how am i lazy if i don't no how to do something???

as i did try changing it but i changed it wrong.

Also this is dislaying on a second line, the code to display it, is this

<?php echo gmdate('l, jS F Y');?><div id="txt"></div>

All you needed to do was delete the line that said today.getSeconds() and the s variable from the output...

[DeanWhitehouse]

what i had tried was this

<script type="text/javascript">
function startTime()
{
var today=new Date();
var h=today.getHours();
var m=today.getMinutes();
// add a zero in front of numbers<10
m=checkTime(m);
document.getElementById('txt').innerHTML=h+":"+m+";
t=setTimeout('startTime()',500);
}

function checkTime(i)
{
if (i<10)
  {
  i="0" + i;
  }
return i;
}
</script>

You have an extra " in your script.

[DeanWhitehouse]

anyway, back to my question, it is appearing on a different line, why is this?

[DarkWater]

You want it on the same line?  Use <span> instead of <div>.
