A cool clock, from HTML

This has been floating around the net, but I thought I would share it here. Copy and paste this into Notepad and save it as a .html file.

It may be a nice gesture...but pasting HTML code on this forum will cause the coding to get parsed in one way or another (this will render the script useless).
 
Ignore me... I am testing some PHP code to see if special tags are ok on this forum...

-- EDIT: Nevermind... none works 🙁
 
(ns)?window.onMouseMove=Mouse😀ocument.onmousemove=Mouse;

this line causes trouble. the smile face should be a : d without the space, but that still doesn't work for me. 🙁


EDIT: I'm now getting an error in this chunk of code.

for (i=0; i < n; i++){
var F=(ns)?document.layers['nsFace'+i]:ieFace.style;
F.top=y + ClockHeight*Math.sin(-1.0471 + i*Split*Math.PI/180)+scrll;
F.left=x + ClockWidth*Math.cos(-1.0471 + i*Split*Math.PI/180);
}

I think it has to do with the var F.
 
yep, sorry guys. the html code got messed up by the forum software. a lot of the indexing vars [ i ] got nuked.
 
Will it still work if you change the variable "i" to something else and then replace your original post with the new code?
 
how about uploading the code to a website or sth, where we can download and try them?
or if necessary, send me an email with the code and i'll post it on my website (email in my profile)
or tell us where you found it (unless if you are writing the code itself)
or well, fixing the code to post correctly on the forum (like changing [ i ] to [j] or sth) will do as well

thanks 🙂

I got it to work, that's pretty sweet. All i did was copy the code from your quote. Then I removed all the "I"s and replaced them with "i"s. I also had to change this

(ns)?window.onMouseMove=Mouse😀ocument.onmousemove=Mouse;
to

(ns)?window.onMouseMove=Mouse: document.onmousemove=Mouse; without the space between the : and document.

D'oh!

<< Then I removed all the "I"s and replaced them with "i"s. I also had to change this >>
thanks for the pointer ... got some problems over there as well 🙂

anyways, i have put them on my website
anyone knows if this is a public domain code, or if this needs to be credited to someone, etc?

thanks again for the cool stuff 😀

edit: for some reason, when i try it on msie 5.5, it doesn't work??
it was working on netscape 4.78??
let's see what went wrong ....

edit2: it's working now ... thanks again for the pointer from JetBlack69 to edit line 169: Document.onmousemove to document.onmousemove 🙂
it's not working with mozilla though ... i have mozilla 095 if it makes any difference....
 
Do you know what I noticed? The lines

HandHeight=ClockHeight/4.5
HandWidth=ClockWidth/4.5

they are near the top, they don't end with ";" but it still works. Anyone know why?😕
 
they work because in JavaScript, you don't have to end every line of commands with a semicolon
even if you stip out all the semicolons (well, the ones at the end of lines, that is), it will still work fine

🙂

Interesting. I guess that would save space.

No problem. 🙂
