Here are a few small JavaScript routines, dealing with the time:








Here is the code:

// This code was modified to display both the hexclock and normal time by 
// Nick Glover <http://hubcap.clemson.edu/~nglover>
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This code was adapted from the clock on the netscape javascript page
// by Mark Vincent Rogers
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Hex clock concept is also by Mark Rogers
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This code can be modified in any way as long as credit is given to the
// original authors, but you can't convert this to use AM or PM, it must
// be on 16-hexhour time.
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// It was further hacked by Beat Bolli to include the Swatch .beats, 
// add the hex and decimal seconds and UNIX ticks and clean up the hexclock
// code in general by using the bit shift instead of division and modulo
// operators.
