Perfecting the digital clock Iowa

Tips... We're in the home stretch. We've grabbed the time, set the returns into numbers we can play with and used those numbers to post the AM/PM image and the two hour images. Now we'll set the minutes and seconds.

Here's the code

Here's the code we're interested in:

if(min < 10) { document["tensMin"].src=d[0].src; } if(min > 9) { document["tensMin"].src=d[parseInt(min/10,10)].src; } document["Min"].src=d[min%10].src; if(sec < 10) { document["tensSec"].src=d[0].src; } if(sec > 9) { document["tensSec"].src=d[parseInt(sec/10,10)].src; } document["Sec"].src=d[sec%10].src; document["amPM"].src=amPM; setTimeout("clock();",100);

The script plays with the minutes and seconds in the same way it did the hours, through "if" statements.

If the minute return is less than "tensMIN" (the first minute image), it is set to d0.src. If you look back up the script, you'll see that is the dgt0.gif.

If the minute is more than nine, then we need to get the correct 10 number in the "tensMin" position. We already know that the minute return is 10 or above so we need either 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. The little math equation parseInt(min/10,10) does the trick...
