Find & Display the Time or Date
Dates and Time are sometimes calculated by the number of milliseconds since: January 1, 1970.
Milliseconds per day is calculated by (1000*60*60*24) or
(milliseconds/second*seconds/minute*minutes/hour*hours/day)
JavaScript TIME: Example <SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> <!-- var now = new Date (); var hour = now.getHours (); var minu = now.getMinutes (); if (minu < 10) {minu = "0" + minu} var mon = now.getMonth(); var mday = now.getDate(); var wday = now.getDay(); var dayname; var thisYr = now.getYear(); if (thisYr < 1900) {thisYr = thisYr + 1900} var nextYr = thisYr + 1 var xmas = new Date(thisYr,11,25); if (xmas.getTime() < now.getTime()) {xmas.setYear(nextYr)} function dayTodays(inTime) { return (Math.floor(inTime.getTime()/(1000*60*60*24))) } function daysTill(inDate) { return dayTodays(inDate) - dayTodays(now) } if (mon == 0) monthname = "January"; if (mon == 1) monthname = "February"; if (mon == 2) monthname = "March"; if (mon == 3) monthname = "April"; if (mon == 4) monthname = "May"; if (mon == 5) monthname = "June"; if (mon == 6) monthname = "July"; if (mon == 7) monthname = "August"; if (mon == 8) monthname = "September"; if (mon == 9) monthname = "October"; if (mon == 10) monthname = "November"; if (mon == 11) monthname = "December"; if (wday == 0) dayname = "Sunday"; if (wday == 1) dayname = "Monday"; if (wday == 2) dayname = "Tuesday"; if (wday == 3) dayname = "Wednesday"; if (wday == 4) dayname = "Thursday"; if (wday == 5) dayname = "Friday"; if (wday == 6) dayname = "Saturday"; var time = "The time on your computer is " + hour + ":" + minu + ".
