JavaScript - Get Time That Does Not Rely On User's Clock?
Sorry, I'm new to javascript... . I want to make a switch statement that will display something different depending on the time of day. Once I saw something like getTime (?), but it relied on the user's clock. I know that you would expect me to at least research getTime so that I'm asking about something more specific, but I don't think it's what I need because I want mine to give the same result regardless of the viewer's time zone or how off thier clock is. How can I do this? I only need to know how to get the time; I know how I'm going to do the switch statement. I just wanted to give you some idea of what I meant to to... =)

Thanks. How can I draw a cookie where number of chocolate chips represents the number of seconds and the number of bites represents the number of minutes. I want to show the passage of time on a clock that looks like items are being added to the display according to the number of seconds and minutes. Maybe using a mouse input aswell! Please guide.:confused: I use the Processing Software Can someone help me modify this script be set to a specific Time Zone rather than picking up the time from the local machine? I want it to countdown to 6:00 am EST. http://javascript.internet.com/time-...countdown.html Can anyone tell me what to add where if it is possible? Thank you in advance. hello all, this is my first time on this site and i can usally find all the information i need on google. However iv run into a problem while coding a countdown timer for students in my school i will be hosting it as a mobile website. what im having problems with is getting not the system time, but 1 syncronized time source ex. The official U.S.time or any other single time source if that one will not be the best. any suggestions? ps. i am completely new to js so make any suggestions and please explain throughly. Thanks! Hi everyone, i made this clock and for me in the UK it displays my time, however for people everywhere else in the world it displays their current time, i would like it to display GMTdate only regardless of where you live. any help would be great. below is my code: Code: <script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function updateClock ( )
{
var currentTime = new Date ( );
var currentHours = currentTime.getHours ( );
var currentMinutes = currentTime.getMinutes ( );
var currentSeconds = currentTime.getSeconds ( );
// Pad the minutes and seconds with leading zeros, if required
currentMinutes = ( currentMinutes < 10 ? "0" : "" ) + currentMinutes;
currentSeconds = ( currentSeconds < 10 ? "0" : "" ) + currentSeconds;
// Choose either "AM" or "PM" as appropriate
var timeOfDay = ( currentHours < 12 ) ? "AM" : "PM";
// Convert the hours component to 12-hour format if needed
currentHours = ( currentHours > 12 ) ? currentHours - 12 : currentHours;
// Convert an hours component of "0" to "12"
currentHours = ( currentHours == 0 ) ? 12 : currentHours;
// Compose the string for display
var currentTimeString = currentHours + ":" + currentMinutes + ":" + currentSeconds + " " + timeOfDay;
// Update the time display

thanks I'm trying to add a body class of 'day' if it's 6am-5pm and 'night' if it's 5pm-6am based on the user's local time. I tried the following but it didn't work. Any ideas? In the <head> Code: <script>
function setTimesStyles() {
var currentTime = new Date().getHours();
if(currentTime > 5 && currentTime < 17) {
document.body.className = 'day';
}
else {
document.body.className = 'night';
}
}

Any help will be appreciated. Hello, I am trying to create a clock for my video game. I need to begin the clock at zero and count while the game is going. I need to have the clock count in standard minutes and seconds but not be based on the actual time of day. I am coding in javascript for an applet.
Javascript for clock: Code: function showTime (dateObj) {
thissecond=dateObj.getSeconds();
thisMinute=dateObj.getMinutes();
thisHour=dateObj.getHours();
// change thisHour from 24-hour time to 12-hour time by:
// 1) if thisHour < 12 then set ampm to "a.m." otherwise set it to "p.m."
var ampm = (thisHour < 12) ? "a.m." : "p.m.";
// 2) subtract 12 from the thisHour variable
thisHour = (thisHour > 12) ? thisHour - 12 : thisHour;
// 3) if thisHour equals 0, change it to 12
thisHour = (thisHour == 0) ? 12 : thisHour;
// add leading zeros to minutes and seconds less than 10
thisMinute = thisMinute < 10 ? "0"+thisMinute : thisMinute;
thisSecond = thisSecond < 10 ? "0"+thisSecond : thisSecond;
return thisHour + ":" + thisMinute + ":" + thisSecond + ampm;

I found a free .js countdown clock at http://www.hashemian.com/tools/javascript-countdown.htm Anyone got any better suggestions? I havn't used .js much so I may need some help implementing it if someone would be kind enough to help me out, thanks. Hello, I would like help about my problem. I want to find the proper function to manage a clock . What I want to do is, when a city is selected from the drop down menu, the display of the clock must be changed depended by the city .

For the past few days I've been having trouble trying to figure out how to do something. I want to code a world population clock similar to the one here, but simpler: I want the user to be able to choose future years up to 2020 (just years, not months/days), and have the population grow by 1 percent each year. So far I have a code for the world population, but I have no clue where to begin in terms of making a list of the years with the option to increase the population. Could anyone point me in the right direction? I'd appreciate any help! Heres the code I have: <body> <script type="text/javascript"> function maind(){ startdate = new Date() now(startdate.getYear(),startdate.getMonth(),startdate.getDate(),startdate.getHours(),startdate.getM inutes(),startdate.getSeconds()) } function ChangeValue(number,pv){ numberstring ="" var j=0 var i=0 while (number > 1) { numberstring = (Math.round(number-0.5) % 10) + numberstring number= number / 10 j++ if (number > 1 && j==3) { numberstring = "," + numberstring j=0} i++ } numberstring=numberstring if (pv==1) {document.getElementById("worldpop").innerHTML=numberstring } } function now(year,month,date,hours,minutes,seconds){ startdatum = new Date(year,month,date,hours,minutes,seconds) var now = 5600000000.0 var now2 = 5690000000.0 var groeipercentage = (now2 - now) / now *100 var groeiperseconde = (now * (groeipercentage/100))/365.0/24.0/60.0/60.0 nu = new Date () schuldstartdatum = new Date (96,1,1) secondenoppagina = (nu.getTime() - startdatum.getTime())/1000 totaleschuld= (nu.getTime() - schuldstartdatum.getTime())/1000*groeiperseconde + now ChangeValue(totaleschuld,1); timerID = setTimeout("now(startdatum.getYear(),startdatum.getMonth(),startdatum.getDate(),startdatum.getHours( ),startdatum.getMinutes(),startdatum.getSeconds())",200) } window.onload=maind </script> Current world population (estimated): <span id="worldpop" style="font-weight: bold"></span>. </body> Hello, I'm somewhat new to JavaScript and for my website, I decided to make a clock for the website in this format: Saturday, October 17, 2009 5:56:14 p.m. The only issue is that it won't update every second. Below is the coding: External JavaScript: Code: function dateClock()
{
// Coding
}
setTimeout("dateClock()", 1000);
HTML: Code: ...
<script src="date.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<p style='margin:-15px 0px;background-color:black;position:fixed;padding:5px;'>"+Day+", "+Month+" "+date+", "+Year+"<br />"+Hour+":"+Minute+":"+Sec+" "+Suffix+"</p>");
</script>
What can I do to make it update? Thanks. I figured if there was one it would be a Javascript but does anyone know of a countdown clock that almost looks like a counter/turnstile number row? Like this sorta: I've been looking for one where I have the numbers look just like that and 'push' upward as the times (days, minutes, seconds) go on. Hopefully someone knows of a script >< Thanks alot!!! Hello Guys, Any one help me coding of java script coding for watch implementation in our website..... Thanks in Advance I have to make a digital clock (which i did figure out) but the number needs to be images with the numbers on them. (ex.: (an image of the number 1+an image of the number 2+image of number 0+images of number8) would be 11:08)) Here's what I have so far. Do I need to use <img src=""> in a function then call the function for my images? Code: <HEAD>

heres where you can see it in action http://the-test.comoj.com/files/working-clock.html im just asking if there are any errors or if theres a better way to do this Hi! How would I type If I wanted to have this timer countdown to 3.00PM and then stop and display a message and reset itself by midnight and repeat itself every week day? Thanks in advance. Cheers Hi, I've just created an image based digital clock following a youtube tutorial, and I understand all of it except one thing. I have created a regular digital clock (a text one), and then split this into an array. So I can manipulate the hours/ mins/ secs with [0],[1] and [2], is this the element that makes my regular text into the images I am using? There must be a correlation between the two, and that's all I can see that would do that for me. Here is the code: Code:
digit_Images = ["d0.jpg","d1.jpg","d2.jpg","d3.jpg","d4.jpg","d5.jpg","d6.jpg","d7.jpg","d8.jpg","d9.jpg",
"d10.jpg","d11.jpg","d12.jpg"]
for (i=0;i<digit_Images.length;i++){
document.write('<img style="display: none;" src="' + digit_Images[i] + '" />');
}
function clock_final(){
//make time object
the_Date = new Date();
current_Time = the_Date.getHours() + ":" + the_Date.getMinutes() + ":" + the_Date.getSeconds();
var time_Parts = current_Time.split(":");
//am or pm
if (time_Parts[1] <=12){
var AM_PM = digit_Images[11];
}
else{
var AM_PM = digit_Images[12];
}
//split down to 12 hour clock by subtracting 12
if (time_Parts[0]>=13){
time_Parts[0] = time_Parts[0] - 12 + "";
}
else if(time_Parts[0] =="0"){
time_Parts[0] = "12";
}
var the_Clock = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < time_Parts.length; i++) {
if (time_Parts[i].length == 1) {
the_Clock[i] = '<img src="' + digit_Images[0] + '" />' + '<img src="' + digit_Images[parseInt(time_Parts[i])] + '" />';
} else if (time_Parts[i].length ==2) {
the_Clock[i] = '<img src="' + digit_Images[parseInt(time_Parts[i].charAt(0))] + '" />' + '<img src="' + digit_Images[parseInt(time_Parts[i].charAt(1))] + '" />';
}
}
var clockHTMLInput = the_Clock[0] + '<img src="' + digit_Images[10] + '" />' + the_Clock[1] + '<img src="' + digit_Images[10] + '" />' + the_Clock[2] + '<img src="' +AM_PM + '" />';
document.getElementById('clock').innerHTML = clockHTMLInput;
}
Hope that's not too jumbled. Thanks. |
