I've got the SSI part already but I'm at a loss how > to update that time on an ongoing basis. I'd actually like to see an implementation of that. Counting up seconds may seem trivial at a first glance, but how would you go about writing a clock display (with second precision) that is a) as accurate as possible (relative to the local time on the client) b) as "smooth" as possible (does not increment the seconds display by more than 1, if it can be avoided) c) can handle the client being busy for extended periods (caused by things like complex calculations, synchronous HTTP requests, high CPU load, etc) d) doesn't tax the client by using very short timeouts or intervals I've got some ideas about how to implement it, but I'm curious about what solutions other people might come up with. - stefan
