How to do it:

note you can't have hard returns (just let it wrap) or "'s where I have the jokes.

If you have a Java Script enabled browser try checking the time:

OFF ON

Heres How:

<!----clock Java script----->

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!-------hide from old browsers--
var enabled = 0;
function TOfunc()
{
TO = window.setTimeout( "TOfunc()", 1000 );
var today = new Date();
document.forms[0].elements[0].value = today.toString();
}
//-------end hide--->

</SCRIPT>

<!---end clock script--->
<CENTER>
If you have a Java Script enabled browser try checking the time:  
<CENTER>
<INPUT type="text" name="disp" value="" size=25 onFocus="this.blur()" >
<BR>
<INPUT type="radio" name="rad" value="OFF"  checked onClick="
    if( enabled )
{
	clearTimeout( TO );
        enabled = 0;
}">OFF


<INPUT type="radio" name="rad" value="ON" onClick="
if( !enabled )
{
TO = setTimeout( 'TOfunc()', 1000 );
        enabled = 1;
}">ON

<BR>

</CENTER>

How to get lots of colors when you get into your page:

function bgChanger (begin, end, steps)
