Hi, There are a couple of problems there. The first and biggest problem is that your clock.html file *isn't* getting the server's time, it's getting the client's time. You're running client-side code to output the time to the document as it's being rendered in the browser. The second problem is that you can't use document.write in script tags in content you're going to retrieve and put on the page via PeriodicalUpdater (or Element#update or anything like them). But see the first point, you don't want to anyway.
You need to create something that runs *on the server* and outputs the time, and then plop that into the appropriate location on your page. HTH, -- T.J.
