I would like to create a rather plain, but attractive clock stylable with css

  • 0

I would like to create a rather plain, but attractive clock stylable with css that will float in the upper right corner of a page about 100 pixels down from the top and a 5 pixel margin between the clock’s right side and the vertical scrollbar.

I need two clocks: one to display UTC time with a UTC label to the left and a second to display Local Time likewise.

These two clocks should also float so that when you scroll down the page they will become top justified after moving down the page.

How would I go about creating an arrangement of this nature? Could you please provide an example of how the code to create this? jQuery would be fine if simpler.

The two clocks may look something like this:

Two clocks that float right and attach to top on scrolldown

    1) here is a script that will fix the container in IE

    http://www.gregjopa.com/2011/07/conditional-fixed-positioning-with-jquery/

    2) clock plugin
    http://www.ajaxupdates.com/jclock-jquery-clock-plugin/
    https://github.com/dsparling/jclock

    change the jQuery to the latest though

    Example – please download the respective sources to your own server:
