Dang, ok guys, while that site is amazing, (i spent about 30 min just looking around) it doesnt have any script to make the date or time scroll in the bottom left (ie) where it says "Done" after the page loads. I know there are those out there that know what im talkin about and how to do it. Thnx alot guys!

That's because it has nothing to do with HTML. It's a JavaScript and your needs are better served looking at a JavaScript reference like this one.


<edit> PS: To give you an idea what to look for, that place in your browser is called a &quot;status bar&quot; and there are lots of status bar scrolling scripts. </edit>

Put this in the HEAD section of your page, it shows current date and time in the statusbar
and updates every second.

<script>
function ShowTimeInStatusBar() {
theTime = new Date();
status = &quot;The time is : &quot;+theTime.toLocaleString();
setTimeout(&quot;ShowTimeInStatusBar()&quot;,1000);
}

ShowTimeInStatusBar();
</script>

Hey, that helps me as well, instead of relying on a Java sctipt from Yahoo, I will use yours. This will also help in loading the page faster.
