Real time date insertion

I'm somewhat of a rookie, please forgive, but does anyone know how I can
insert time 'real-time' as someone visits a web site? I presume there is an
extension available?

regards
Phil

I havn't seen an extention for this yet you can use this javascript below for
real time and date (it connects to the users system clock) but it's a large
file so you may want to use an external javascript file.

<script language="javascript">

// Javascrpt Date

var dayName = new Array ("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday",
"Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday")
var monName = new Array ("January", "February", "March", "April", "May",
"June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December")
var now = new Date
var today = new Date()
var year = today.getYear()
if(year<1000) year+=1900
document.write(dayName[now.getDay()] + ", " + monName[now.getMonth()] + "
"+now.getDate() +", "+year)
</script>
