Date: Date is an object providing number of methods to get the current date and time information of client system. To access the date object method, we need to create the instance.
Window property is by default in the ram execute. But for date object, first we need to load in ram and then we can access the functionality of date. This object is providing number of methods and every client side scripting language refers ‘0’ for January Sunday.
<script language="JavaScript" type=text/JavaScript>
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=""
if (hours>=12)
dn=""
if (hours>12){
hours=hours-12
}
if (hours==0)
hours=12
if (minutes<=9)
minutes="0"+minutes
if (seconds<=9)
seconds="0"+seconds
//Hire change font size
var cdate="< small> < font color='ffffff' face='Arial'>"

+" < /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>
To use this in your web pages, just include the above script somewhere, and call function goforit() in your <body> tag. For example:
Collapse
<body leftMargin=0 topMargin=0
onload=goforit() marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
It's very simple. Use it and enjoy.

That was too long. Is there a shorter way to organized the time/date system?
