I've had a google but haven't had much luck

Interesting you mention this. I just wrote one of these today.

The code is at work so if nobody gets back to you I will post it tomorrow.

It is only 5 lines or something but I am currently having a brain fart and cant remember how I did it.

Scroll down to see the code snippet. You can also have a look through the page javascript to see how the animated clock works

came across this earlier, a few times even. only thing I can't seem to find is how to display it. using document.write() just writes it over and over again

No lol. Trying to code a lockscreen for an iPhone. It's a countdown to 1234567890 in UNIX time. Just wanted to display the UNIX time to so it might actually be more useful than just the countdown

This is what I put together yesterday.

PHP:

<html>
  <head>
  <script type="text/javascript">
       function timeSecs()
       {
        var currentTime = new Date();
        var secs = currentTime.getTime();
        var secs = secs + "";
        var secs = secs.substring(0,10);
        document.getElementById('time').value=secs;
        setTimeout("timeSecs()",1000);
       }
    </script>
  </head>

  <body onload="timeSecs()">
    <form>
      <input type="text" id="time">
    </form>
  </body>
</html>
