live clock Need Help

**lentzu** · 09-28-2010, 06:38 PM

The code I am finding is for military time(1pm being 13:00) and I dont want it that way. How do I change code to reflect (1pm & so on) plus the date. I am beyond confused. please any kick in the right direction would be appreciated.

Would need the code you're trying to update but something like

Code:

if (time > 12:59) {
time = time - 12;
var merdian = "am";
} else {
var merdian = "pm";
}

If this clock is running though and not just displaying on the page load I think this will be inefficient. Please post your code or a link.

<body><body onLoad="goforit();">
<script>

Okay, this should do it.

Code:

<body onLoad="goforit();">
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
