Live Clock on a website?

[GraemeT]

Ray,
My local time Aus Eastern Standard Time is 17:27, your clock shows 08:27, my UTC clock shows 07:27
so presumably you're on daylight saving time.

Showing 1 hour ahead of local NZ time. No daylight saving involved here.

Ray, it is not showing the correct time in my browser - it is 20:40 here (local pacific daylight saving time) and the clock on the web page is displaying 04:40 AM...

Ray, IIRC the UK is 8 hours ahead of Pacific Time so as you're on DST and so are we that would make it correct.

Oh, did I forget to mention that I really dislike (to put it nicely) those gadgets with mouse-hover messages and links...

I don't like it either but I suppose the price you pay for a freebie.

Graeme, Yes we are so that makes it correct, thanks.

Shouldn't that be 11 hours ahead? If so that's correct as the UK is on GMT+1 until October.

As mentioned by Ray earlier, take a look at mine and the various options. No annoying pop ups and it's a freebie.

And, an earlier helpful quote from Steve to check your clock .

I'm not outside the UK, but my PC doesn't know that, so I pretended to be in Melbourne and Los Angeles, and it worked fine.

Duke, I read through this thread and had a look at the various clocks but preferred the one I ultimately chose albeit with the popup message. Of course there's no need to hover over it to see the time.

Steve's tip is handy should I decide to try others.

[RayProudfoot]

After a week I decided I didn't like the analogue clock and started another search. What I now have looks much better. The only downside is you can't customise which cities are shown. Still, much beter than before and no annoying popup when you hover.

Nicer, indeed Ray.

But, I have to 'rain on your parade' matter of writing... ...the new line of code for the clocks produces a lots of easily correctable errors (and warning) when your home page is sent to the W3C Markup Validation Service...

The main problem in the clock line (and the Weather Underground line) is the use of the 'not permitted' "&" symbol - it should be replaced with its equivalent "&" (which validate without problem while producing the same intended results).

There are some additional errors/warnings when HTML tags are not properly entered (too many of those so-called Web designers trying to cut corners in order to save a few keyboard clicks) such as 'width=100%" - it should be properly written as 'width="100%"' - all HTML tag values should be enclosed between single or double quote marks.

Sorry if I ruined a beautiful day...

Greetings Raymondo

I'm very grateful for your help. I've managed to get the number of errors down from 43 to 6. I suspect the supplied code from WU is responsible for those but I don't know if it's possible to fix it.

Pity DW can't validate as well as a free website!
