Clock In a Form

Current Time:

Start Time

Clock in a form: This will put the current date and time in a text field as a running clock. Also a button to set the clock will grab the current time and just display it as a static value; useful when you are timing an event. The clock string can be formatted any way you want it. It is just a matter of extracting the desired pieces from the date object. Because it is in a form field, it also means you can include the exact date of submission right off the form as well.
