JavaScript for Digital Clock

Below is the scrip to get the hours, minutes and seconds from your computer’s clock. The first script line is the script jQuery library link for the widget to work.

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
setInterval( function() {
var hours = new Date().getHours();
$(".hours").html(( hours < 10 ? "0" : "" ) + hours);
}, 1000);
setInterval( function() {
var minutes = new Date().getMinutes();
$(".minutes").html(( minutes < 10 ? "0" : "" ) + minutes);
},1000);
setInterval( function() {
var seconds = new Date().getSeconds();
$(".seconds").html(( seconds < 10 ? "0" : "" ) + seconds);
},1000);
});
</script>

Note: In case if the script is not working on your Weebly site, then replace the $ variable with jQuery and publish the site again.

The CSS has three classes – .time, .clock and .align. The “.time” class is used to align the clock numbers while the “.clock” class is used to setup the clock styles. The “.align” class is simply used to adjust the margin and font size.

<style>
.time {
display: inline-block;
color: #fff;
}

.clock {
border: 1px solid yellow;
border-radius: 5px;
background-color: darkslateblue;
text-align: center;
color: #fff;
}

.align {
margin: 15px;
font-size: 40px;

font-weight: 700;
}

</style>

Below is the HTML code for the widget:

<div class="clock">
<div class="align">
<a><span class="time hours"></span></a> :
<a><span class="time minutes"></span></a> :
<a><span class="time seconds"></span></a>
</div>
</div>

The colon : is used as a separator between hours, minutes and seconds.

The complete widget will look like below by adding the script, CSS and HTML together.

<html>
<head> 
<style>
.time {
display: inline-block;
color: #fff;
}

.clock {
border: 1px solid yellow;
border-radius: 5px;
background-color: darkslateblue;
text-align: center;
color: #fff;
}

.align {
margin: 15px;
font-size: 40px;
font-weight: 700;
}

</style>
</head>
<body>

<div class="clock">
<div class="align">
<a><span class="time hours"></span></a> :
<a><span class="time minutes"></span></a> :
<a><span class="time seconds"></span></a>
</div>
</div>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
setInterval( function() {
var hours = new Date().getHours();
$(".hours").html(( hours < 10 ? "0" : "" ) + hours);
}, 1000);
setInterval( function() {
var minutes = new Date().getMinutes();
$(".minutes").html(( minutes < 10 ? "0" : "" ) + minutes);
},1000);
setInterval( function() {
var seconds = new Date().getSeconds();
$(".seconds").html(( seconds < 10 ? "0" : "" ) + seconds);
},1000);
});
</script>

</body>
</html>
