Question

I am using following code to display date on my webpage. I need to update it every minute. How to do that?

var d=new Date();
var n=d.toString();
document.write(n);

Currently its static, means when the page load, datetime of that moment is displayed. I have to update time every minutes without refreshing the page.

Answer 1

I am using following approach:

var myVar=setInterval(function(){myDateTimer()},60000);

            function makeArray() 
            {
                for (i = 0; i<makeArray.arguments.length; i++)
                this[i + 1] = makeArray.arguments[i];
            }

            function myDateTimer()
            {
                var months = new makeArray('January','February','March','April','May',
                'June','July','August','September','October','November','December');
                var days = ['Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday'];
                var date = new Date();
                var day = date.getDate();
                var month = date.getMonth() + 1;
                var yy = date.getYear();
                var year = (yy < 1000) ? yy + 1900 : yy;
                var hours = date.getHours();
                var minutes = date.getMinutes();
                var finaldate = days[ date.getDay() ] + ", " + months[month] + " " + day + ", " + year + " " + hours +" : " + minutes;
                document.getElementById("showDateTime").innerHTML=finaldate;
            }
