using javascript file in ASP.NET

[sj1187534]

Hi...I am trying to use a javascript file that shows the current date and time. The thing is I dont have any idea on how to use it in ASP.NET. RIght now, the code is like this but it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

 

This is where I want the time to display:

=====================================

<TD style="WIDTH: 285px" vAlign="top" align="center">

<div align="center">

<script language="JavaScript" src="LiveDateAndTime.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<span id="clock"></span>

</div>

</TD>

=====================================

and this is my "LiveDateAndTime.js" file :

=====================================

 

var dayarray=new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday")

var montharray=new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December")

 

function getthedate(){

var mydate=new Date()

var year=mydate.getYear()

if (year < 1000)

year+=1900

var day=mydate.getDay()

var month=mydate.getMonth()

var daym=mydate.getDate()

if (daym<10)

daym="0"+daym

var hours=mydate.getHours()

var minutes=mydate.getMinutes()

var seconds=mydate.getSeconds()

var dn="AM"

if (hours>=12)

dn="PM"

if (hours>12){

hours=hours-12

}

if (hours==0)

hours=12

if (minutes<=9)

minutes="0"+minutes

if (seconds<=9)

seconds="0"+seconds

//change font size here

var cdate="<u><font color='#004e98' face='Garamond'><b>"+dayarray[day]+", "+montharray[month]+" "+daym+", "+year+" "+hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds+" "+dn

+"</b></font></u>"

if (document.all)

document.all.clock.innerHTML=cdate

else if (document.getElementById)

document.getElementById("clock").innerHTML=cdate

else

document.write(cdate)

}

if (!document.all&&!document.getElementById)

getthedate()

function goforit(){

if (document.all||document.getElementById)

setInterval("getthedate()",1000)

}

=====================================

I know the javascript file has no errors as I got it from the web and it is working on a normal HTML page. Do I have to do anything special in .NET environment????

=====================================

 

Thanks,

Place this in the Head section of your aspx file...

<script src='LiveDateAndTime.js'></script>

 

Then for example if you wanted to execute a js function on mouse over...

 

<td onmouseover=getthedate()>

hi...its not working like that too!!! Probably I wastn't clear of what i am trying to do. I have a user control (.ascx) file that looks something like this.

 

==========================================

<%@ Control Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="Footer.ascx.vb" Inherits="MSI.Web.Footer" TargetSchema="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5" %>

<TABLE id="Table1" cellSpacing="1" cellPadding="1" width="800" border="0">

<TR>

<TD vAlign="top" align="left" rowSpan="1" colSpan="3">

<HR align="left" width="100%" SIZE="0">

</TD>

</TR>

<TR>

<TD style="WIDTH: 305px">

<DIV style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 14px; BACKGROUND-IMAGE: none; VERTICAL-ALIGN: super; WIDTH: 296px; COLOR: background; HEIGHT: 40px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent"

ms_positioning="FlowLayout">

Some text.

</DIV>

</TD>

 

<TD style="WIDTH: 285px" vAlign="top" align="center" onmouseover=getthedate()>

<div align="center">

<span id="clock">Time</span>

</div>

</TD>

</TR>

</TABLE>

=======================================

I want the time to display at the text "Time" in the above code, not at the onmouseover event or anything like that but when the page is loaded.

 

I have the text "Time" within the <span> tag because the .js file above requires it.

 

Do u think what I am doing is right?? Please let me know.

 

Thanks,

SJ

I said "For example...onmouseover" you can use it like any html page. All I was showing you was how to call it as an external file.
