You'll still need to use Javascript if you want the time actually updating in the browser. Try to find some js code that'll let you pass a "start" time to it. You can then get the server time with PHP and "pass" it to js. It may be a few seconds off, depending on the delay of getting the time on the server and the js actually starting in the browser, but close enough for govt. work. :) <? $now = time(); ?> <script language="javascript"> js_now = <?=$now?>; </script> Then use the "js_now" js variable as a starting point for the clock. ---John Holmes...
