Hi,

Does anyone have a clock script that will count up? Meaning, say I have a line of text that says:

I have been out of work for -- days so far

how can I get a javascript that automatically fills the -- above with a number based on a 24 a day period. It needs to keep going up for each day. So after 24 hours the above line says 1 day instead of -- days and 48 hours would be 2 days instead of -- etc..etc..

Thanks.

I think this cannot be done in client script you can do it only in Server Side.

Don't believe you, I worked with both javascript and php before, but I just cannot think writting code atm, it's highly impossible when I work 14+ hours a day doing 'outside' work...

Thanks anyway!

Of course it can be done

//Set the start date
var startDate =new Date(2006, 9, 21) // (yyyy, m , d) Month is 0-11 in JavaScript
today=new Date()
//Convert 24 hours into milliseconds
var oneDay=1000*60*60*24
//Calculate the difference between today and the start and convert to days
var numDays = Math.ceil((today.getTime()-startDate.getTime())/(oneDay))
if (numDays != 1) {
	daysText = " days have ";
	} else {
	daysText = " day has ";
}


document.write(numDays + daysText + "elapsed since the start"
