Accessing server time using javascript

Expand Post »

Hi,

I have a problem accessing server time using javascript. I'm making a home page in asp and want to access server time using javascript. What i'm doing presently is accessing server time in vbscript, and now want to display this in a javascript calendar which i hav already made. Now the thing left is displaying time and also refreshing it without refreshing whole page. Can any body help. I know how to do for SSI and PHP pages. But want to try in ASP page. Can nybody suggest???

Hi,

You will need to create a clock in javascript that will refresh the time.
