Local Time Script

Wstar · September 26, 2007

I got this code from dynamicdrive.com at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex6/localtime.htm

<script type="text/javascript">

/***********************************************

var weekdaystxt=["Sun", "Mon", "Tues", "Wed", "Thurs", "Fri", "Sat"]

function showLocalTime(container, servermode, offsetMinutes, displayversion){
if (!document.getElementById || !document.getElementById(container)) return
this.container=document.getElementById(container)
this.displayversion=displayversion
var servertimestring=(servermode=="server-php")? '<? print date("F d, Y H:i:s", time())?>' : (servermode=="server-ssi")? '<!--#config timefmt="%B %d, %Y %H:%M:%S"--><!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->' : '<%= Now() %>'
this.localtime=this.serverdate=new Date(servertimestring)
this.localtime.setTime(this.serverdate.getTime()+offsetMinutes*60*1000) //add user offset to server time
this.updateTime()
this.updateContainer()
}

showLocalTime.prototype.updateTime=function(){
var thisobj=this
this.localtime.setSeconds(this.localtime.getSeconds()+1)
setTimeout(function(){thisobj.updateTime()}, 1000) //update time every second
}

showLocalTime.prototype.updateContainer=function(){
var thisobj=this
if (this.displayversion=="long")
this.container.innerHTML=this.localtime.toLocaleString()
else{
var hour=this.localtime.getHours()
var minutes=this.localtime.getMinutes()
var seconds=this.localtime.getSeconds()
var ampm=(hour>=12)? "PM" : "AM"
var dayofweek=weekdaystxt[this.localtime.getDay()]
this.container.innerHTML=formatField(hour, 1)+":"+formatField(minutes)+":"+formatField(seconds)+" "+ampm+" ("+dayofweek+")"
}
setTimeout(function(){thisobj.updateContainer()}, 1000) //update container every second
}

function formatField(num, isHour){
if (typeof isHour!="undefined"){ //if this is the hour field
var hour=(num>12)? num-12 : num
return (hour==0)? 12 : hour
}
return (num<=9)? "0"+num : num//if this is minute or sec field
}

</script>

When I try to display the time with:

Current Server Time:<span id="timecontainer"></span>

<script type="text/javascript">
new showLocalTime("timecontainer", "server-php", 0, "short")
</script>

When I view the site in IE or FF, I get NaN:NaN:NaN am for the time. When i view it in Safari, it works fine. Whats happening?

im not familiar with javascript, but you could try changing server-mode to 'server-ssi'

im not really sure...

or you could delete the code and replace with this:

<html><head><script type="text/javascript">
