    Hey folks,

    I want to use javascript to create two small clocks to go on my blog. I have found, on the internet, the code to make a simple clock that outputs the current user's time, but I would like to make another one that outputs time in a specific time zone. Could someone take the code I already have and edit it to be configurable into any timezone? (I'll be in London, family in the United States.)

    here's the code I have already: (sorry to use the php vB functions, but when I use code it parses the HTML instead of printing the code.)
    PHP:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function     createtime()
    {
    var     time = new Date()
    var     hours = time.getHours()
    var     minutes = time.getMinutes()
    var     seconds = time.getSeconds()
    var     abbrev = "AM"
    if (hours>=12)
    abbrev="PM"
    if (hours>12)
    {
    hours=hours-12
    }
    if (    hours==0)
    hours=12
    if (minutes<=9)
    minutes="0"+minutes
    if (seconds<=9)
    seconds="0"+seconds
    var ctime=""+hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds+" "+abbrev+""
    if (document.all)
    document.all.clock.innerHTML=ctime
    else if (document.getElementById)
    document.getElementById("clock").innerHTML=ctime
    else
    document.write(ctime) }
    if (!    document.all&&!document.getElementById)
    createtime()
    function     loadtime()
    {
    if (    document.all||document.getElementById)
    setInterval("createtime()",1000)
    }
    </    script>
    <    body onLoad="loadtime()">
    <    center><font size="1.5">Your Time: <span id="clock"></span></font>
    Thanks

    Just change the timeZone variable to fit yours.

    PHP:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function     createtime()
    {
    var     time = new Date()
    var     hours = time.getUTCHours()
    var     minutes = time.getUTCMinutes()
    var     seconds = time.getUTCSeconds()
    var     abbrev = "AM"
    var timeZone = -5

    if (timeZone != 0)
    hours= hours + timeZone
    if (hours>=24)
    {
    abbrev="AM"
    hours = hours - 24
    }
    if (    hours>=12)
    abbrev="PM"
    if (hours>12)
    {
    hours=hours-12
    }
    if (    hours==0)
    hours=12

    if (minutes<=9)
    minutes="0"+minutes
    if (seconds<=9)
    seconds="0"+seconds
    var ctime=""+hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds+" "+abbrev+""
    if (document.all)
    document.all.clock.innerHTML=ctime
    else if (document.getElementById)
    document.getElementById("clock").innerHTML=ctime
    else
    document.write(ctime) }
    if (!    document.all&&!document.getElementById)
    createtime()
    function     loadtime()
    {
    if (    document.all||document.getElementById)
    setInterval("createtime()",1000)
    }
    </    script>
    <    body onLoad="loadtime()">
    <    center><font size="1.5">Your Time: <span id="clock"></span></font>

    yeah but it calls the user's time. How can I know what the offset should be if the users are in different time zones?

    This one calls GMT/UMT time... 0. So japan is GMT +9 so you put 9 in the timezone variable. Central time would be -5.

    time.getUTCHours()
