I found something that will count days, but not hours. And it's overloaded with cutesy graphics. http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/tick...gner.php?type=4 Not exactly what I had in mind, but it does the job - I found graphics that wasn't to cute, and put in on the cache page - thank you very much!

As far as I know, you can't put anything on a cache page other than links and images, not even iframes. Thats why I found the dynamic image idea interesting, but i simply don't know (yet) how to do that I actually saw a hit counter as image on a cache page, but haven't found anyone offering time counters that way... I found a bit of code that'll create a dynamic PNG image and made some slight mods to it so that it'll display the current time. This took me about five minutes to get running. I'd show it here but the forum doesn't allow you to use a url for an images that is not a valid image extension. Since someone recently posted a link to one of my caches here I'll use it to demonstrate: Sky Watch Note the image on the page which displays the current time. Wait and reload to watch it change. The code for this is very simple and wouldn't take much work to display the number of days or hours since a specified date/time. Now we're getting very close to what I was looking for I'm sure I can alter the code, but how do I get the code...? I've never worked with png before

That sounds like a good idea, but it's a little bit outside anything i've done before... I would be thankful for any help and/or useful links I found this, but I can't seem to make it work on a cache page. I tried using their "embed" option, instead of the one that puts javascript on the page, but it still doesn't show up on my test cache page. All of the others I can find require javascript, except for one that uses iframes. But that one doesn't work on a cache page, either. Don't know if it'll work on a cache page but I wonder if there might be a counter Applet that you could put on the page.

Hi! I would like to display on one of my mysterys something like "This mystery has been unsolved for X hours", where X is coluld be calculated from computers clock. Since script are not allowed I find this difficult... is there any way to do this using html? It doesn't have to be a running timer; it's ok if the time is called when page is loaded.
