I made the Tutorial on creating a Digital Flash Clock at Anchor. Part 1

creates a timer and Part 2 converts the timer to a clock that gets it

time from the system clock using JavaScript.

Use this link so you can also get the download files missing at Anchor

in Part 2.


There are also versions of my Flash Clocks that use Analog Displays use

the same basic techniques like my Clock at http://www.FlashTek.com/

which does not use any java applet and is a very robust Clock. I have

seen lots of Java Clocks but none that run well at full screen. Other

Flash Clocks on the Web not

based on my design tend to be inaccurate or stop after a while because

of JavaScript errors. This happens sooner and more often with 3 browsers

than 4.
