Thanks Dennis. I have an online university course that has a testbank, and it allows the instructors to set when a test opens and closes for each/all student(s). The instructors' school clocks or watches vary as much as 15 minutes from my server's time (so does my own, for that matter...). So it opens before or after they plan, closes before or after they plan. The only way to deal with this is for me to put some script in the page where they set times, which will say, "The TestBank's time is now _____" so they can adjust accordingly. But they could spend 15 minutes in the page prior to getting to that point, so it needs to be an ever-updating thing. Once a minute would probably be sufficient I guess as long as I put a little note text to it that it updated that often. I'd really appreciate any guidance in this. Thanks very much for your response.
