I figured it out. When I added the code you helped me with, I forgot to call the routine that will set the interval every second. That code was never called, so the time would show up from the start and whenever the form was reset etc.

Changed the below: 

function reset_main() {
    //  alert('asdf');
    document.getElementById("form1").reset();

    getthedate();
}

TO:

function reset_main() {
    //  alert('asdf');
    document.getElementById("form1").reset();

        goforit();
}
