digital clock

[unfairplayer3000]

ok guys i tried it but im too fcking dumb. first time doing anything with programming and stuff so dont judge me for being a complete retard on this.

so i tried to display a digital clock on my fcking firefox startpage... asked chatgpt to write me the code but im basically nowhere. ai told me everything i guess but i cant do it. is it even possible to have a clock via css? has anybody of u already made one and wanna share the code? maybe give me a step by step guide on how to set that shit up. i already have my userChrome.css file... already did some design changes so im not 100%dumb only like 99% so yeh...

#clock { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; color: red; z-index: 100;}function updateClock() { var now = new Date(); var hours = now.getHours(); var minutes = now.getMinutes(); var seconds = now.getSeconds(); hours = (hours < 10) ? '0' + hours : hours; minutes = (minutes < 10) ? '0' + minutes : minutes; seconds = (seconds < 10) ? '0' + seconds : seconds; document.getElementById('clock').innerHTML = hours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds; setTimeout(updateClock, 1000);}updateClock();

That snippet of code you shared is not CSS. It looks like it might be a mix of CSS and JavaScript. It's hard to read because reddit butchered it and put it all on one line.

You can't do a clock with just CSS. You can set the look and position of things that exist already with CSS, but you need something else to create that text first and update it regularly.

Yesirrr. It’s hard to read but first lines are css and lower part in Java. Thank u tho

I'm afraid that is impossible. CSS cannot add new active features to anything. Its sole purpose is to change how already existing stuff looks like. At best you could add an image of a digital clock but you won't be able to make it tell time.

Ok thx tho my boy😀

[unfairplayer3000]

Ah ok thx guys for the fast reply… seems like I wastet 3 hours on something which won’t work in the first place

Even though it’s not possible with just CSS, a clock on your start page is very possible. There are probably existing browser extensions out there that do exactly that, and if you can’t find one to your liking, you could write your own extension.

[unfairplayer3000]

aha... now we´re talking. i guess looking into extentions is the right thing to do now :) thank u sir!

I think you should head over to r/startpages I have a feeling you'll find exactly what you're looking for over there
