Time...

[David Harrison]

I need a script that will display the time on a page but the time according to the user's computer clock because that could be wrong. Is there some way that I can do this, if not with javascript then perhaps with some other.

B.T.W. - G.M.T. time if possible

Correction

...time on a page but NOT the time according to...

Or you can use a Java applet which has more chances of working on both major browsers,and I am sure there are times server which will let you ping to get the correct time to display on your site.

e.g
http://www.worldtimeserver.com/

Or you can use Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP, http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2030.html) to get the time from any number of time hosts on the internet that are themselves set by a number of atomic clocks. If you can get it working server side then it will work for all browsers, but client side Java will give you a bit more accuracy.

As an aside, I reset my PC's clock every hour using SNTP.

Four seconds in the last half of an hour.
