Thanks for your reply brad, I actually ended up using some code on another thread shown below. However I wil hand out points as you did help and am sure yours would be a workable solution. But this is what I came up with<br />
<br />
as a rough idea - the big number is milliseconds<br />
<br />
&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
var d = new Date();<br />
d.setTime(7395000);<br />
document.write(d+&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&quot;);<wbr /><br />
&nbsp;<br />
document.write(d.getHours(<wbr />)+&quot;hours&lt;b<wbr />r/&gt;&quot;);<br />
document.write(d.getMinute<wbr />s()+&quot;minut<wbr />es&lt;br/&gt;&quot;);<wbr /><br />
document.write(d.getSecond<wbr />s()+&quot;secon<wbr />d&lt;br/&gt;&quot;);<br />
&nbsp;<br />
document.write(d.getHours(<wbr />) + &quot;:&quot; +d.getMinutes()+&quot;:&quot; +d.getSeconds() +&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&quot;);<br />
<br />
&lt;/script&gt;

<script type="text/javascript">
 
var d = new Date();
d.setTime(7395000);
document.write(d+"<br/>");
 
document.write(d.getHours()+"hours<br/>");
document.write(d.getMinutes()+"minutes<br/>");
document.write(d.getSeconds()+"second<br/>");
 
document.write(d.getHours() + ":" +d.getMinutes()+":" +d.getSeconds() +"<br/>");

</script>

Hi, I would like to be able to calculate the elapsed time from my webpage (page.htm) opening to the clicking of a submit button on page.htm which submits the time variable to my php file. The time would be in the format 00:00:00, where it is hours:minutes:seconds. <br />
<br />
Could somebody give me the code for this? I would imagine I will need to put something in the head section and some code on the submit button.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

Web development software is used to create websites for both the Internet and intranets. Software can be either locally installed or operated through a cloud interface, and ranges in complexity from simple text editors to full-fledged integrated development environments (IDEs) that include graphics, video, audio, scripting and database support.

JScript is Microsoft's dialect of the ECMAScript standard that is used in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. JScript is implemented as an Active Scripting engine, so it can be "plugged in" to OLE Automation applications that support Active Scripting, such as Internet Explorer, Active Server Pages, and Windows Script Host. It also means such applications can use multiple Active Scripting languages, e.g., JScript, VBScript or PerlScript.
