Sorry for the question... I am quite new using this technology...My question is conserning the script you have with the local time... somewhere it says that works only "with SSI ot PHP"

I have tested saving the file as shtml and it works like a charm. But then i try to save it as asp file does not work... is there any way to include the shtml file in a asp file in order to present it properly in my site???

Sorry if my question is quite irrelevant

thank you

Warning: Please include a link to the DD script in question in your post. See this thread for the proper posting format for asking a question.

The script as is requires that your page either by SSI (.shtml) or PHP (.php) enabled. ASP won't do, but only because I'm not familiar with the syntax needed to output the current date in ASP. If anyone knows how, I'm sure the script can easily be modified for ASP pages as well.

I'll do a search online as soon as I have the time.

Hi all,

Gracias

Ok, I did some research, and have modified the script to support ASP pages as well: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex6/localtime.htm Mainly, just replace the code of Step 1 with the new version, then use "server-asp" as the keyword to pass into showLocalTime() to indicate your page is ASP.

ddadmin thank you very much for your response...but it seems that does not work...

it appears like this

Current Server Time:NaN:NaN:NaN AM (undefined)
Current LA Time:NaN:NaN:NaN AM (undefined)
Current New York Time:NaN:NaN:NaN AM (undefined)

the code i use is the following

<html>
<head>
<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")? '' : '<%= 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>

</head>

<body>

Current Server Time:<span id="timecontainer"></span><br />
Current LA Time:<span id="timecontainer2"></span><br />
Current New York Time:<span id="timecontainer3"></span><br />

<script type="text/javascript">

Ami doing something wrong???

**ddadmin** · 12-07-2005, 01:15 AM

It looks right. Are you sure the page you're putting this script on is ASP enabled? Here's an example I uploaded onto a ASP host that shows the script working: http://d.1asphost.com/georgecc/time.asp
