Help with page timer?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 20.2007

Okay, I have a little javascript function at the top and near the bottom of my pages that gets the current date.

Right now im just using these to get both variables: new Date() .getTime()

At the end of the page it subtracts the two to get how long it took to load the page. Problem is that it doesnt match up with the Fasterfox extension (I only use it for the timer). Im guessing its not doing things like images as its always something like this:

Page: 0.847
Fasterfox: 3.526

I was wondering if there was a better way to do this in javascript. Ive tried searching all over but all I get is PHP, and it has to be Client Side. (its a free host, dont have access to the server, but im fine with that ? )

Thanks in advance.

Any ideas? Evan a "somewhat correct time is not possible in JS" from a knowledgeable member would help too.

Oh and the quick equation to get the seconds (maybe thats whats wrong). Both variables use the new Date() .getTime() in the places I pointed out above.

var seconds = ((tstart - tend)/1000).toFixed(4);

Page generated in: 0.847 seconds.

Success!
