RealTime CGI Clock
Thursday, September 18, 2025
One line of code will automatically display a clock on the corner of your visitor's browser. You can set it to display your server's time or the visitor's local time.
To install, simply place the script in your cgi-bin directory and chmod to 755. Set the $use_time variable to "0" to use the user's local time, or "1" to use your server's time.
How to use:
To display the clock from any of your web pages, just use:
<SCRIPT SRC="http://www.yourserver.com/cgi-bin/clock.cgi"></SCRIPT>
There are five optional variables you can pass to the script to customize the clock's display:
width is the width of the box that the clock in displayed in
height is the height of the box that the clock is displayed in
usetime should be set to 0 if you want to use the visitor's local time, or 1 if you want to use your web server's time
backgroundcolor is the background color of the box that the clock is displayed in
bordercolor is the border color of the box that the clock is displayed in
Below is an example of how you would specify using your server's time and changing the background color:
<SCRIPT SRC="http://www.yourserver.com/cgi-bin/clock.cgi?usetime=1&backgroundcolor=CCCCCC"></SCRIPT>
Installation:RealTime CGI Clock automatically installs on your web site in seconds
Or, follow the below instructions to install manually.
- Upload clock.cgi to your cgi-bin folder
- CHMOD clock.cgi to 755
- Edit clock.cgi to the correct paths for your web server
This is the most cost efficient way to have your site not only be user
friendly, but also look and work great. After using the autoupload I had a
few problems with my server working the software. However, Joe helped me
work out the problems and the software working perfect in 1 day. Not only
did he make it work he showed me what the problem was and how to make
future pages work smoothly with my server. The best customer service I
have ever dealt with.
