Date/Time script, converting from PHP

Hello,

I recently created a [URL=”http://hpnpilot1200.org/clock/date.php”]page using php[/URL] to indicate the date (EST) and time in multiple time zones. In PHP, the only way to update these items would be to refresh the entire page every second or so, which is obviously a nuisance (even with a line or two of javascript). Ultimately, I would like the date and times to automatically update every second without the entire page physically refreshing.

So…I attempted to convert the page into javascript instead, but I’m having some difficulties. I found a few javascripts on the ‘net to accomplish the time updating, but it’s not exactly working.

This is the javascript I was working off of:

[code=php]<span id=”dt”></span>
<script type=”text/javascript”>

var currentTime = new Date()
var hours = currentTime.getUTCHours()
var minutes = currentTime.getUTCMinutes()
if (minutes < 10)
minutes = “0” + minutes
var seconds = currentTime.getUTCSeconds()
if (seconds < 10)
seconds = “0” + seconds
var UTCTime = hours + “:” + minutes + “:” + seconds;

setInterval(‘dispUTCtime()’, 1000);

function dispUTCtime() {
document.getElementById(‘dt’).innerHTML = UTCTime;
}[/code]

Using that code, the time appears, but the seconds/minutes/hours do not update per the setInterval. I also need to create additional scripts of the same type for different time zones. Any help is greatly appreciated and I look forward to working on this script.

Regards,
