Current Time process on a webpage

I have another issue that came up due to fixing an issue with Google Chrome. I have a checkbox list that is connected to my database. Whenever the user would hit the BACK button in Google Chrome ONLY the checkboxes that were selected would still be clicked. I have that issue resolved, but it has caused my 'current time' code to not work and not update every second. Any ideas how to fix this? I might just have to decide to keep either the time feature or go with the code that fixes the google chrome issue.

Code:

var dayarray = new Array("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday",
               "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday")

var montharray = new Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
               "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December")

function getthedate() {
    var mydate = new Date()
    var year = mydate.getYear()
    if (year < 1000)
        year += 1900
    var day = mydate.getDay()
    var month = mydate.getMonth()
    var daym = mydate.getDate()
    if (daym < 10)
        daym = "0" + daym
    var hours = mydate.getHours()
    var minutes = mydate.getMinutes()
    var seconds = mydate.getSeconds()
    var dn = ""
    if (hours >= 12)
        dn = "PM"
    else
        dn = "AM"
    if (hours > 12) {
        hours = hours - 12
    }
    if (hours == 0)
        hours = 12
    if (minutes <= 9)
        minutes = "0" + minutes
    if (seconds <= 9)
        seconds = "0" + seconds
    //Hire change font size
    //
   
    var cdate = "Current Time: "
  + dayarray[day]
  + ", " + montharray[month] + " " + daym + ", " + year
  + " " + hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds + " " + dn
 + " "


    if (document.all)
        document.all.clock.innerHTML = cdate
    else if (document.getElementById) {
        document.getElementById("clock").innerHTML = cdate

    }
    else {
        document.write(cdate)

    }
}
if (!document.all && !document.getElementById)
    getthedate()
function goforit() {
   
    if (document.all || document.getElementById)
        setInterval("getthedate()", 1000)
}

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

    getthedate();
}

HTML Code:

<body onload="reset_main()" >

All the HTML code:

<body onload="reset_main()" >
    <form id="form1"  runat="server" >
    <span id="clock"></span>

Re: Current Time process on a webpage

The code:

document.getElementById("form1").reset();

Is what fixes the google chrome portion in my reset_main routine

Re: Current Time process on a webpage

Thanks for creating new thread in HTML and JS section. Where do you call the 'current time' method? try resetting only the checkbox then instead of restting whole form:

document.getElementById("checkboxList1").reset();

Re: Current Time process on a webpage

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();
}
