A quick test from the southern hemisphere ;-))
Legal time sets up with no problem. When changing location information
and pressing the Apply button this does not dismiss the dialogue.
Pressing OK does dismiss the dialogue. It would probably be better to
locate this closer to the coordinates at the top of the page.
You probably only need one 'o' in Hoours from Sunrise (Babilonic) -
functionality should not change ;-))
The last three readouts - Sunrise Time Noon Time and Sunset Time do not
seem to make any sense to me here ?

I agree with you and I would be a bit ashamed if my pupils should see
me doing this. But, you know, I showed the
script to a friend of mine with no decimal figures, only integer
values, and he asked "Why the Sun does not
move? Do you mean it is fixed in that position?" and I thought it was
more 'dramatical', so to say, to include
moving numbers like in a countdown: they mean nothing but somehow show
the Sun moving.
I must say I like the 'dramatical' quality of the figures counting down
- I think this is an important quality in terms of user interface. Can
some evidence of movement be retained while acknowledging the good
point made by Gianni
