client side / server side

[jfpirtle]

Hello;

I'd like to be able to compare a value generated by a server side script using PHP to a JavaScript value. For example, I'd like to show the time offset from the server to the client. Don't have a problem getting either script to work. Just need to have the client side script pickup the server side time. Any suggestions?

Hi

I have very little javascript experience but maybe this suggestion will help

Output the php time into a text box something like:
<input type="text" name="php_generated" value="<? echo $query?>" size="40">

you could even have it in a type="hidden" field....

Then ....i'm pretty sure javascript can read this value from the "php_generated" textbox

Hope this helps...(it should ...in principle )
