Date & Time [Combine]

[doctypedeclaration]

Dear resident members,

I have two javascripts, one for date and one for time. The javascript in both these files calls the data locally from the user's pc.

I would like to know how to combine these two .js files into one.

The date .js file is written as follows:

// Get today's current date.
var now = new Date();

// Array list of days.
var days = new Array('Sun','Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat');

// Array list of months.
var months = new Array('Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','A ug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec');

// Calculate the number of the current day in the week.
var date = ((now.getDate()<10) ? "0" : "")+ now.getDate();

// Calculate four digit year.
function fourdigits(number) {
return (number < 1000) ? number + 1900 : number;
}

// Join it all together
today = days[now.getDay()] + "&nbsp;" +
months[now.getMonth()] + " " +
date + ", " +
(fourdigits(now.getYear())) ;

// Print out the data.
document.write("It is currently" + "&nbsp;" +today+ "&nbsp;");

The time .js file is written as follows:

var currentTime = new Date()
var hours = currentTime.getHours()
var minutes = currentTime.getMinutes()

var suffix = "am";
if (hours >= 12) {
suffix = "pm";
hours = hours - 12;
}
if (hours == 0) {
hours = 12;
}

if (minutes < 10)
minutes = "0" + minutes

document.write(hours + ":" + minutes + " " + suffix)

Please can you explain how this would be done.

Many thanks.

Combine them into something like this:

Code: Select all

 			 				// Get today's current date.
var now = new Date();

// Array list of days.
var days = new Array('Sun','Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat');

// Array list of months.
var months = new Array('Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','A  ug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec');

// Calculate the number of the current day in the week.
var date = ((now.getDate()<10) ? "0" : "")+ now.getDate();

// Calculate four digit year.
function fourdigits(number)    {
    return (number < 1000) ? number + 1900 : number;
                                }

// Join it all together
today =  days[now.getDay()] + "&nbsp;" +
              months[now.getMonth()] + " " +
               date + ", " +
                (fourdigits(now.getYear())) ;

			 				var currentTime = new Date()
  var hours = currentTime.getHours()
  var minutes = currentTime.getMinutes()

  var suffix = "am";
  if (hours >= 12) {
  suffix = "pm";
  hours = hours - 12;
  }
  if (hours == 0) {
  hours = 12;
  }

  if (minutes < 10)
  minutes = "0" + minutes;

document.write("It is currently" + "&nbsp;" +today+ "&nbsp;");
  document.write(hours + ":" + minutes + " " + suffix);

Give that a shot, see if it works.

Thank you very much, but why two document.write commands? Can't they both be incorporated into the one?

i guess they could. Don't know why i kept them seperated. hmmmm........

*goes deep in to thought*
