Gav and anybody else who might be interested,
Apparently, time stamps can be inserted in an HTML document by using what are called one of the Server Side Includes (SSI), but this has to be set up at the server by an admin person.

You include a line in your doc having the format

""

- outside quotes are mine, to stop it doing what happened to my test posting. The server will then replace the DATE_GMT variable with the current date and time.

Maybe Duncan can activate the SSI feature on the server if he has enough priveleges, although I can't really see that this would be any better than just typing the time in yourself, cos you'd still have to type in the html code - Dunc would have to make it automatic for there to be any advantage.

Bliddy hell. The wonders of HTML or How to Look Like a Complete Dork in One Easy Lesson.

Looks like you'll have to get the format that should have been between those double quotes from somewhere else - bit pointless like cos it doesn't work.

Or send this thread immediately to room 101

I'll be sitting over there in the corner in a huff for a while.

Bill,

Just start talking gruffly about football and no-one will think to question you ;))

Luckily your amongst friends who'll be quite happy to take the piss outta ya.....it would've been worse with strangers who might've really thought you were being daft ;))

Gav,
Still in the huff but not sitting in the corner.

There's more to that original 'Why not put your own time stamp - ?' posting than meets the eye. Looks like 'Teller Of It' might be a closet propeller head, from which pretensions of being I was disillusioned in about 3 minutes.

He seems to have found a way to include a bit of tcl code that inserts the time stamp. I've tried pratting about with it but I'm as far forward as I was when I went to bed last night.

What's the html for 'starts to speak in a gruff voice about football' ?

He'll be asking you for pictures soon :))

It's obvious - he's a closet makkem(ptuh). -)

Pit Bill , are you trying to get to the top of the postings league? you're (you are) very active at the moment, is it the hot weather?
