Javascript Alarm ClocK & Egg Timer (c) Aug '98 by Gordon Lee

As an alarm clock, a URL (http://www.geocities.com/cmg_lee/Web%20page%20or%20file,%20even%20sounds%20and%20movies) is loaded at a preset time. To use it this way:

1. Set the intended time with the 5 drop-down selection fields. The first (double-digit) one sets the hours; the next two, the minutes; and the last two, the seconds; e.g. for 34 minutes and 56 seconds past noon, the 5 fields should read 12:34:56. The 24-hour clock is used (00 stands for midnight).
2. Click the button.

1. Set the intended duration with the 5 drop-down selection fields. The first (double-digit) one sets the hours; the next two, the minutes; and the last two, the seconds; e.g. for 1 hour, 23 minutes and 45 seconds, the 5 fields should read 01:23:45.
2. Click the button.

The 'open:' selection field gives you a choice of preset URLs, but you can also choose 'Other URL:' below then enter your own (or cut and paste from the location toolbar) in the 'Other URL:' text-entry field. You can even enter something like javascript:alert('Dinner time!') to pop up a message."); w.document.write("

Notes:

• You must not close or resize the window with the controls while an alarm or timer is running, but you may minimise or iconise it.
• This script uses your computer's clock; to re-set it, you need to change the settings from your operating system (normally from the Control Panel).
• Due to the time taken for loading and possible rounding errors, there may be a few seconds of error, so do not use this script for critical purposes.
