Source Code For The Date Time Script on The cpwww888 Site

Note that you need divs in your page named daDate and clock to get this working (To be picked up by the document.getElementById('daDate')..... and document.getElementById('clock')........ The date last modified routine was not working on Blue Host's server -- because the server did not return the document.lastModified. We have kept the javascript code to handle it in this script -- but it is commented out so as it is not 'live" -- we use a PHP script to get the last modified date that you see on a page. The Chinese days of the week show on MOST but not all machines.
