  A fast response to this would be helpful, its for an AVCE (what used to be GNVQ).
  

  
  Does anyone know how I can retreve the date and (slightly more importantly) the time from the system clock of someone vewing a webpage, so that the site can be programmed to comment: eg: tells them to go to bed if the clock says "3am" or says happy christmas if the date is december 25th.

  Code:

  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
  var now = new Date;
  

  
  //Months are 0 (January) to 11 (December)
  var month = now.getMonth();
  var date = now.getDate();
  var hour = now.getHours();
  var minutes = now.getMinutes();
  </SCRIPT>
