Gday all

Can someone please help me. I need to add a day/month/year so this script will only come on at a certain day of the current year. If someone can just rewrite the code with an example day it would be much appreciated

thanks in advance
Shane

Just one more thing. How would i put both the dates and time in to make it read at a certain time on a certian date as the original showed UTC time and now i need the date to be added to the script so that on x date at X time this happens

Thanks

Did you want to convert the UTC time to a different time zone like eastern or central?

The problem with getting the time with javascript is that it determines the time by each user's computer clock. If their computer clock is wrong, then it will probably affect your script. Unfortunately with javascript there's no way to get around this. If you have support for php or ssi I would suggest using one of those options to retrieve the time instead of javascript.

EDIT: I've changed the script to reflect Felgall's suggestion.

Gday pccode

yes my server handles both PHP and ssi but i am relevantly new to webpage design so i will just put a note on there that the light script will only work true if pc clock is the right time

if you use:

var months = ['January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November',' December'];

then you can forget about adding 1 to the month field as it will reference the correct month from the array directly as intended rather than having an extra blank entry on the front of the array.
