Do you want time and status?
Put the Metric date in your status window!
|
It has now been made very easy for you to put the
Metric date in the status window of any site you have designed or are
going to design. It is not only free and easy, it is also a matter of
principle, for the Quaternary Metric Calendar is the sole calendar that is:
|
|
- a global calendar worldwide
- ethnically and otherwise inclusive
- as metric and modern as the meter
- as natural and ancient as nature
- and transparently perpetual
|
As a designer of HTML pages you will have to follow three steps:
- Get the JavaScript file StatWind.js from TRINPsite at the following
address:
http://www.trinp.org/JS/StatWind.js
Put the file in the same directory as the file of the page you want
to add the Metric date to. (Of course, you can also create a special
JavaScript directory as has been done in TRINPsite, but then you
should make sure that you adjust the reference to that file below in
src="StatWind.js".)
- Add the following statement to the HEAD of your source code, that is,
between <head> and </head>:
<script src="StatWind.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"></script>
- Add the following item to your BODY statement, that is, between
<body and the end bracket >:
onload="StatWind(true)"
After saving your revised file and reloading your page, the Metric
year-week-day code will appear in your status window at the bottom of
your screen, preceded by the words Today's date is. For example:
Today's date is 56.01.2.
You can also put the Metric date at any place in your standard or 'design'
window by using the JavaScript function StatWind(truth-value). If
truth-value=true the date appears in the status window, but if
truth-value=false it appears in the active 'normal' window. If you want to
add some text before and after the date, this part of your source code may
look as follows:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.write("Today's date is ");
StatWind(false);
document.write(".")
// -->
</script>
Again, be sure not to forget the JavaScript item in the head, and, of
course, the StatWind.js file in the same directory (or in a different one,
as specified).
Good luck, and let it transpire!
