Hey,

 

I have a problem, I have my webpage all set out, and I want the time to update every second.

 

I have my function updateTime() in which is displays the time.

 

Then i want this to be updated every second via the setInterval function.

 

So this is what I have:

 

			function updateTime() {
			var now = new Date();
			var time = 'The current time is: ' + ( now.getHours() % 12 ) + ':' + pad( now.getMinutes() ) + ':' + pad( now.getSeconds() ) + ' ' + ( now.getHours < 12 ? 'AM' : 'PM' );
			document.getElementById("time").innerHTML = time;

		}

 

Then, my window onload

 

		window.onload() {
		updateTime(); // So the page doesnt have to wait a second for the time to load
		setInterval( "updateTime()", 1000 );
		}

 

Now, the time loads (through the updateTime(); but the time doesnt refresh every second! I really cant work it out, anyone notice anything?

You're sending the setInterval a string, not a function. To get around that, take out the quotation marks and brackets:

window.onload() {
                       updateTime(); // So the page doesnt have to wait a second for the time to load
                       setInterval( updateTime, 1000 );
                       }

 

That should fix it
