Floating clock script
Time
is on my (right, lower) side
Place this script into the <head> of your Web page, and your work is all
done. A quick look at the page you've created will show the little bit of analog
you've introduced into the digital world (unless your page has a black background,
which you should have outgrown by now). If your background is indeed black,
we will show you how to change the colors of the clock. At the top of the script
are color settings for the face as well as for the minute, hour, and second
hands.
fCol='000000';//face
color.
sCol='ff0000';//seconds color.
mCol='000000';//minutes color.
hCol='000000';//hours color.
Just
change the hexadecimal codes, such as 000000 (black), to something more befitting
your color scheme. You can pick new hues from our color converter tool <http://www.builder.com/QuickReference/Color/converter.html?tag=st.bl.7690.txtbl_converter>.
Likewise, if you're not crazy about Arabic numerals, find this line of script:
dgts='1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12';
You can change the numbers to Roman numerals (I, II, III, IV, and so on) or
to any odd symbols in order to get your clock in line with some of the more
enigmatic horological schools. If you're a real minimalist and don't want anything
on the clock face, make sure that you have at least 11 empty spaces between
the quotation marks.
