Menu & Other Scripts

Dated: Wednesday July 31 2002 - 22:45:38 BST

For some reason the menu prevents me from adding a dynamin clock to my site. The code came from Dynamic Drive. The clock doesn't show when I use the <body onLoad="show_clock()"> tag. It does show when I add the single line to the script: window.onload=show_clock(). But with errors. what am i doing wrong.....???

Thanks In Advanced if you can help!!

Here is the clock code:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

//
// Based on the original script: "Upper Corner Live Clock"
// available at:
// - Dynamic Drive (http://www.dynamicdrive.com)
// - Website Abstraction (http://www.wsabstract.com)
// ========================================================
// CHANGES TO ORIGINAL SCRIPT:
// - Gave more flexibility in positioning of clock
// - Added date construct (Advanced version only)
// - User configurable
// ========================================================
// Both "Advanced" and "Lite" versions are available free
// of charge, see the website for more information on the
// two scripts.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////////// CONFIGURATION /////////////////////////////

// Set the clock's font face:
var myfont_face = "Verdana";

// Set the clock's font size (in point):
var myfont_size = "8";

// Set the clock's font color:
var myfont_color = "#000000";

// Set the clock's background color:
var myback_color = "#ffffff";

// Set the text to display before the clock:
var mypre_text = "The time is: ";

// Set the width of the clock (in pixels):
var mywidth = 150;

// Display the time in 24 or 12 hour time?
// 0 = 24, 1 = 12
var my12_hour = 1;

// How often do you want the clock updated?
// 0 = Never, 1 = Every Second, 2 = Every Minute
// If you pick 0 or 2, the seconds will not be displayed
var myupdate = 1;

// Display the date?
// 0 = No, 1 = Yes
var DisplayDate = 0;
