Hi,

You may also want to check out www.dynamicdrive.com they may have some clocks there which you can use.

And I have found www.hotscripts.com very handy in the past; you may want to take a peek there too :)

Best of luck.

My fault I don’t think I explained my self very well so I will try again. I hope to have three or four clocks in the top right hand corner of my web site showing different world times. So I need to get hold of a script that will allow me to change the time depending on what location I chose. I would also like to have analoge looking clock rather than digital.

I hope this straitens things up

Hi Matt,

If you want analog clocks, I think you're definitely going to have to make it Flash (unless you start looking into SVG). Personally I'd recommend having a single flash anim that allows you to feed in the time difference from the web page. Put three of these animations side by side on your page, then you can just enter in your HTML source what the time difference would be for each of the tree Flash animations.

Is there a problem with having multiple flash animations on a single page? I should point out here that Flash is not one of our strongest points!

Hi

Simply from a site visitors point of view...why?

Look at it like this...

I drop on to a website and the first thing I see is something like

"It's 11.35 am, Tuesday, 18th October 2005.

Well I have a clock on my taskbar, so why do I need this information?

Personally I think items like this take up valuable screen realestate that could be better served saying something of benefit to the visitor.

Rule of thumb, don't slap something on your site just because you can, it has to serve an important purpose.

I agree with you 100% but there is a reason why this show of clocks will be there.
