It seems logical to me (as a beginning js writer) to call the function in an onload event, but it doesn't work.
Can someone tell me how to do this properly. It seems to be the only error in the code thus far.
I have to keep the code itself intact as it's a tech project.
thanks if u can help.....antipodes

I think your problem is the function is looking on page and not to the opener where your function is located.

function clock() {
now= new Date();
// time
hours= now.getHours();
minutes= now.getMinutes();
seconds= now.getSeconds();
timeStr= "" + hours;
timeStr+= ((minutes < 10)? ":0" : ":") + minutes;
timeStr+= ((seconds < 10)? ":0" : ":") + seconds;
popup.document.display.time.value = timeStr;
// date
date= now.getDate();
month= now.getMonth()+1;
year= now.getYear();
dateStr= "" + month;
dateStr+= ((date < 10)? "/0" : "/") + date;
dateStr+= "/" + year;
popup.document.display.date.value = dateStr;
Timer= setTimeout("clock()",1000);
}
