Hi...I am trying to use a javascript file that shows the current date and time. The thing is I dont have any idea on how to use it in ASP.NET. RIght now, the code is like this but it doesnt seem to work. Any suggestions?

This is where I want the time to display:
=====================================
<TD style="WIDTH: 285px" vAlign="top" align="center">
<div align="center">
<script language="JavaScript" src="LiveDateAndTime.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<span id="clock">
</div>
</TD>
=====================================
and this is my "LiveDateAndTime.js" file :
=====================================

var dayarray=new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday")
var montharray=new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December")

function getthedate(){
var mydate=new Date()
var year=mydate.getYear()
if (year < 1000)
year+=1900
var day=mydate.getDay()
var month=mydate.getMonth()
var daym=mydate.getDate()
if (daym<10)
daym="0"+daym
var hours=mydate.getHours()
var minutes=mydate.getMinutes()
var seconds=mydate.getSeconds()
var dn="AM"
if (hours>=12)
dn="PM"
if (hours>12){
hours=hours-12
}
if (hours==0)
hours=12
if (minutes<=9)
minutes="0"+minutes
if (seconds<=9)
seconds="0"+seconds
//change font size here
var cdate="<u><font color=#004e98 face=Garamond><b>"+dayarray[day]+", "+montharray[month]+" "+daym+", "+year+" "+hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds+" "+dn
+"</b></font></u>"
if (document.all)
document.all.clock.innerHTML=cdate
else if (document.getElementById)
document.getElementById("clock").innerHTML=cdate
else
document.write(cdate)
}
if (!document.all&&!document.getElementById)
getthedate()
function goforit(){
if (document.all||document.getElementById)
setInterval("getthedate()",1000)
}
=====================================
I know the javascript file has no errors as I got it from the web and it is working on a normal HTML page. Do I have to do anything special in .NET environment????
=====================================

Thanks,

Place this in the Head section of your aspx file...
<script src=LiveDateAndTime.js></script>

Then for example if you wanted to execute a js function on mouse over...

<td onmouseover=getthedate()>
 
hi...its not working like that too!!! Probably I wastnt clear of what i am trying to do. I have a user control (.ascx) file that looks something like this.

==========================================
<%@ Control Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="Footer.ascx.vb" Inherits="MSI.Web.Footer" TargetSchema="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5" %>
<TABLE id="Table1" cellSpacing="1" cellPadding="1" width="800" border="0">
<TR>
<TD vAlign="top" align="left" rowSpan="1" colSpan="3">
<HR align="left" width="100%" SIZE="0">
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD style="WIDTH: 305px">
<DIV style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 14px; BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; VERTICAL-ALIGN: super; WIDTH: 296px; COLOR: background; HEIGHT: 40px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent"
ms_positioning="FlowLayout">
Some text.
</DIV>
</TD>

<TD style="WIDTH: 285px" vAlign="top" align="center" onmouseover=getthedate()>
<div align="center">
<span id="clock">Time
</div>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
=======================================
I want the time to display at the text "Time" in the above code, not at the onmouseover event or anything like that but when the page is loaded.

I have the text "Time" within the <span> tag because the .js file above requires it.

Do u think what I am doing is right?? Please let me know.

Thanks,
SJ
 
I said "For example...onmouseover" you can use it like any html page. All I was showing you was how to call it as an external file.
