Codezwiz >> Forums >> Javascript Help >> Adding the scripts to the page!!

Hi I have found a couple of js files that i wanna add to me site but i cannnot figure out where to put the code in the page for eg. System clock = Do i put the js file in the scripts folder and then the code in the header.php file or index.php and where on those pages do i put them..

Hello Neoszion:

Script codes usually go in the header.
Then there would be an onLoad in the body tag.

example for a system clock.
this would be under your head

This would be the script

function runClock() {
var timeNow = new Date()
var hours = timeNow.getHours()
var minutes = timeNow.getMinutes()
var seconds = timeNow.getSeconds()
var ampm = ""

if (seconds<10) {
   seconds = "0" + seconds
}

if (minutes<10) {
minutes = "0" + minutes
}

if (hours<12) {
   ampm = "AM"
} else {
   ampm = "PM"

}
if (hours>12) {
   hours = hours-12
}
if (hours == 0){
hours = 12
}

var stringTime = " " + hours + ":" + minutes + ":" +seconds + " " + ampm
document.forms[0].clockBox.value=stringTime
setTimeout("runClock()",1000)
}
//-->
// end of script

This would be in your body tag
onLoad="runClock()"
This would be under your body tag

<TABLE WIDTH=100%>
<TR VALIGN=BOTTOM>
<TD><H1>Time Watcher</TD>
<TD ALIGN=RIGHT><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="clockBox" size=15></H1>
</TD></TR></TABLE>
<HR>

Sorry dude that sort of does make sense but im a newbie to cvoding and scripts.. Where do I add the code and what file would I have to edit
