What is the UTC time anyway?

Does it work for Daylight Savings?
I have read that there is a shortcoming in JavaScript's implementation where it has trouble handling this? I will look it up if there is enough interest...

*********Step 1

Add the following code to inc_top just above the </script> tag

 
function displaydatetime() {
	if (!document.layers && !document.all)
	return;
	var today;
	var timeLocal;
	var timeUTC;
	today = new Date();
	timeLocal = today.toLocaleString() + " " + "Local";       //Convert to current locale.
	timeUTC = today.toUTCString();      //Convert to UTC string.
	if (document.layers) {
	document.layers.clockLocal.document.write(timeLocal);
	document.layers.clockLocal.document.close();
	document.layers.clockUTC.document.write(timeUTC);
	document.layers.clockUTC.document.close();
}
	else if (document.all) {
	clockLocal.innerHTML = timeLocal;
	clockUTC.innerHTML = timeUTC;
}
	setTimeout("displaydatetime()", 500)
}
	window.onload = displaydatetime;

I added this and got error "missing" }
*******Step 2

Search for this line in inc_top.asp

<b><% '##=strForumTitle %></b>

just after this add the following lines
Does this HAVE to go here

<font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strFooterFontSize %>" color="<% =strDefaultFontColor%>">
<span id=clockLocal style="position:relative;"></span><br>
<span id=clockUTC style="position:relative;"></span>
</font>

I don't see why you would need an extra closing parenthesi/curly bracket.

the window.onload = displaydatetime; is actually outside of the displaydatetime function which is how it's suppose to be. There's already two opening curly brackets and two corresponding closing brackets. added another one would make it an odd number.

No you can put the spans where you want the clocked to be displayed. Under the title seemed like a good place. again great code gauravBhabu

There is a method to look up fpr daylight savings. I am doing research to implement it. If you find it post it.

There is only one miracle...That is LIFE!

I just wanted to mention that mac users have a problem with this clock.
After the clock loads, everything after the clock code, and the clock, disappears!

I take that back. This happens when Netscape is the browser and it happens to PC and Mac users alike.
