Thanks Peter, nice explanation.
Now, maybe I am taking an über-simplistic view of things... but why not:
a) a page can get the time + date from the server with a simple call...it does
currently, right? eg, you get , say, 2008-01-17 13:30:00.
b) JS on the local machine can easily count take that time and increment the
seconds as it goes. Sure, the seconds won't be EXACTLY what it shows on the
server...but if you care this much you could use a java applet to keep a
channel open to the server to show the real time.... or , why not, Ajax (do a
callback every 5 minutes to re-sync the server time with the page if we're too
worried about getting the wrong time).
c) .. that's it....
Ah, yes, for the timezone, simply have the server write out in a variable what
string to show.
It seems a bit over-engineered to me... unless,of course, I am missing
something pretty big (which could be possible! :) )
cheers,
B
