Works with Mozilla Firefox?

You could try a php alternative too :

<?php
// Assuming today is: March 10th, 2001, 5:16:18 pm

$today = date("F j, Y, g:i a"); // March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm
$today = date("m.d.y"); // 03.10.01
$today = date("j, n, Y"); // 10, 3, 2001
$today = date("Ymd"); // 20010310
$today = date('h-i-s, j-m-y, it is w Day z '); // 05-16-17, 10-03-01, 1631 1618 6 Fripm01
$today = date('\i\t \i\s \t\h\e jS \d\a\y.'); // It is the 10th day.
$today = date("D M j G:i:s T Y"); // Sat Mar 10 15:16:08 MST 2001
$today = date('H:m:s \m \i\s\ \m\o\n\t\h'); // 17:03:17 m is month
$today = date("H:i:s"); // 17:16:17
?>

But the PHP one relies on the server time. Which may well be different from the users time because of timezones etc.

Talking of date and time. When I try and get a GMT time from the server it appears to be an hour behind what I would assume to be the GMT time.

[Sohail]

Thanks for the script! :D I'd rather use PHP since it's more reliable...

[mattura]

I discovered how to change the timezone in php, see this post:

Don't forget to allow for Daylight Savings Time which may account for this 'error' you're seeing.

[DefecTalisman]

That would make sense. But we dont have daylight savings in my country. Humor me on this, when daylight savings is active does this mean that GMT is actually GMT+1?

[Sundowner]

No, GMT is constant
