If you have php, make it a .php extension, than add:<?php

echo (date("H:i:s"));

?>wherever you want the sever time. With JavaScript, it is impossible, since JavaScript can't run from the server (although there is a JavaScript server side language, though I'm unfamilar with it).

Try something like:<!-- DocType -->
<html>
<head>
<title>Server Time</title>
<script type="text/javascript">

Number.prototype.toHours = function() {
return (this > 12) ? this-12 : this;
}

Number.prototype.pad = function() {
return (this < 10) ? "0"+this : this;
}

Date.prototype.toTimeString = function() {
return [this.getHours().toHours().pad(),this.getMinutes().pad(),this.getSeconds().pad()].join(':');
}

var tm = "<?php print (date("h:i:s")); ?>";
tm = tm.split(':');

var t = new Date();
t.setHours(tm[0]);
t.setMinutes(tm[1]);
t.setSeconds(tm[2]);
onload = setInterval(showTm,1000);

function showTm() {
t.setTime(t.getTime()+1000);
document.getElementById('tm').firstChild.nodeValue = 'Time: '+t.toTimeString();
}

</script>
</head>
<body>
<span id="tm">Time</span>
</body>
</html>This of course will have to be a php file on a server with php enabled. Otherwise, you could use other languages replacing the actual <?php ?> code in the script. That should work for you.
