not possible using html, html doesn't do anything. you're going to
need some sort of scripting, for a clock in real time it will require
client side scripting.

or you can just stick the time on the page using SSIs when the page is
requested:

<!--#config timefmt="%H:%M"-->
<!--#echo var="date_gmt"-->

Yes, wherever you want the time to appear. You should check that your
server supports server-side includes first.

<p><!--#config timefmt="%H:%M"--><!--#echo var="date_gmt"--> GMT</p>

%H specifies 24hr time format. %M specifies minutes.

the above will display: 01:12 GMT

your server needs to support SSIs and you may need to use the file
extension .shtml so the server knows to parse the file

on the add cam setup page is the option to specify your time zone:

the site isn't exactly user friendly. i got there by truncating your
address to http://camarades.com/ which redirects to : http://ww.com/
clicking on a link at random then showed the add cam link at the top
of the page.

find where it gives instructions for setting up your page with the
webcam. theres also something there to download, is that the software
to update your webcam images? is there a time setting option in it?

While you are fixing your other problems see if you can do something to stop
the image being downloaded four times a second.

A 16 K image at 4 times per second adds up to, ah, 225 megabytes per hour.
That would cost me tens of dollars in bandwidth and wouldn't I be *really*
pissed off if I hadn't noticed and happened to leave your page on my browser
canvas overnight and that cost turned into hundreds of dollars.

I certainly would not go round to your studio. Well, maybe I would, just to
kick you in the shins :-)

One refresh every minute or ten will be fine.

Cheers
Richard.

[4 refreshes per second]

More to the point, if ten people look at your page at the same time then
*your* bandwidth usage is going to go through the roof. Your host will
probably be in touch with you very shortly :-)

Cheers
Richard.
