Clocks & Timers Scripts

This JavaScript Clock shows the time in hours, minutes, seconds and whether ante or post meridiem, in 4 text boxes. This is most probably the simplest clock script you can ever find. This example shows the time only in the 12 hour format but the time can also be shown in the 24 hour format if needed as shown in the script.

Similar to the previous script. The difference is that the time is shown in a single text box.

Just type the hour, minute, whether AM or PM, and the message under the given text boxes, after which the 'Set Alarm' button should be clicked. At the set time an Alert Dialogue Box will pop-up with an accompanying ping. If no message is typed in the Message field the word 'ALARM!' shall be displayed. There is also a provision for music to be played when the alarm goes off. For that users have to click the checkbox provided. When the music option is used a small window appears with the given message typed in and also the chosen sound file is played. Users have to remember to type 'am' or 'pm' in small letters without a gap in between.
