Hello, guys. Is there any example of a live clock and date on Rails? I''m using one made on Javascript, but the main problem i''m having is when using any Linux distro, which seems to show date incorrectly. For an example, instead of today, it shows tomorrow date as today''s date. As I know JS is client-sided, it''s impossible to change that. It''s not noticeable on Windows, which shows the date just fine. I want to know if there''s an app, command or something to show the server date and time... live. I hope I''m not asking too much, but I need help on this. Greetings...

Are you saying that everyone who looks at your app from a linux machine sees the date as tomorrow? What about people with Macs? I heard that Macs show the date as next week. People with Macs are always ahead of curve :) Seriously though ... maybe you loaded the page from a linux box that had the date wrong. Can you verify? -- James Mitchell On Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 4:22 PM, The Neurochild <neurochild-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Hello, guys. > > Is there any example of a live clock and date on Rails?

(Time zone is -4:30GMT) I just don''t know what to do anymore. I insist, is there live clock in Rails?

You don''t seem to understand how this all works together. Your rails code on the server has nothing to do with the javascript that runs in the browser other than what html and javascript that it might generate. There is nothing you can do in Rails that you also can''t just hard code in a simple html file, which you keep insisting shows the wrong date. It sounds like you just have some bad javascript code. Have you tried dropping in any one of the 10,000 javascript samples available from a basic google search? -- James Mitchell On Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 6:31 PM, The Neurochild <neurochild-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > On 21 nov, 19:14, "Hassan Schroeder" <hassan.schroe...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> > wrote: >> In any case, it works fine on my OS X box and an Ubuntu VM, so I''d >> suggest you check the TZ settings on the systems you''re seeing a >> problem on. > > As I said, even though I''m in Venezuela, the timezone in which my > computer is set, I''m still having the problem.

I was hoping you can show me something. I know a live clock that works with PHP/JS exists. I''ve seen it. I''ll stop right here, it seems there''s nothing available here.

It really shouldn''t be that hard to put some debug statements into it and see where the discrepancy is coming from.

For a live clock it doesn''t matter if it''s PHP/JS or Rails/JS. If you know working example with PHP/JS then it will work with Rails/JS. Live clock is just JS script and the only thing it depends on is browser implementation. Maybe you just have some archaic browser?
