Here's the script

Here it is in action -->>:

Now let's try it in a table (scripts are often buggy in tables)

Works great!

Now let's see how this looks at

Yup, it breaks on the NVCC server (NT/MIIS), but works on both GMU UNIX servers (unsure of HTTP server).  You can also get a different result by saving the page onto your local drive (it displays correctly on my local drive)

The moral of the story: The way I've been told, date and time scripts rely on this information being returned from the server in a particular form.  Not all servers return the date/time info in the same form (I'm told similar problems happen with international variations in date form), so not all date/time scripts work on all servers.

For the NT/MIIS server, I've read examples of the same thing done with ASP.  I'll look into this later on...

One last test of an unrelated script
