A client of mine wants some analogue/digital clocks on his site showing times for:
Hong Kong
Utah
Salt Lake
NY
California
I personally stay away from these types of gimics, but can anyone recommend a multiple/configurable bit of coding?
Thanks

Off the top of my head I'd recommend a quick look at www.clocklink.com - has their name all over it if that's not an issue to you or your client. Whether or not its configurable I can't remember... like i say off top of my head ;)

You could also look at the date function in php........... I'm sure it would take some time to generate an image this way, but if all you wanted was a
10th December 2002 / 21h45
displayed on the screen, php might be far quicker and cut down on your bandwidth transfers.
Have a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php for a HOWTO

Thanks I saw Clocklink before, it's too intergrated for my liking. I just wanted the times to be placed on the page seperately.
Thanks for the PHP Coding, although too complex for my eyes...sorry

Resale - maybe something like that with a date etc.,
Thinkbling - I tried DD Site (one of my favourites) but doesn't cater for multiple and can't customise time...bit of a pain...

You can customize it if you go into the javascript, but it get's trickier than just a one line change.
