How do I get the current time in a Windows 7 gadget?
- by norlando02
For my first windows gadget I'm trying to make one that displays the current time and date. The code below is what I have, but I can't figure out why the javascript is not running. Any ideas?
<html>
<head>
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Unicode" />
<title>Clock</title>
<style type="text/css">
body { width: 130px; height: 60px; margin: 1 1 1 2; }
body { font-family: Segoe UI, Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; white-space: nowrap; }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
var background;
var interval;
var connection_id;
var timeZone;
var now;
function load() {
try {
interval = 1000;
connection_id = 0;
timeZone = System.Time.currentTimeZone;
update();
}
catch(e){}
}
function update() {
try {
now = new Date(Date.parse(System.Time.getLocalTime(timeZone)));
curDate.innerHTML = now.format('M jS, Y');
curTime.innerHTML = now.format('h:i:s A');
clearTimeout(connection_id);
connection_id = setTimeout("update()", interval);
}
catch(e) {}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="load()">
<div id="curDate">
</div>
<div id="curTime">
</div>
</body>
</html>
