I would like to find out how to have the seconds run/move accurately for the time to change. is there a way I can do that with the js script that I have provided below?
thank you all.
functionName(); //First execution setInterval(functionName, 1000); //Ask the browser to execute functionName as soon as possible after 1 second has passed function functionName(){ var now = new Date(); now.setMinutes(now.getMinutes() - now.getTimezoneOffset()); document.getElementById('dt').value = now.toISOString().slice(0,16); }
<input readonly="readonly" name="dt" id="dt" type="datetime-local" step="1" />

Answer
Using getSeconds
and setSeconds
works:
I also changed the string slice to .slice(0,19)
to show the updated seconds.
functionName(); //First execution setInterval(functionName, 1000); //Ask the browser to execute functionName as soon as possible after 1 second has passed function functionName(){ var now = new Date(); now.setSeconds(now.getSeconds() - now.getTimezoneOffset()); document.getElementById('dt').value = now.toISOString().slice(0,19); }
<input readonly="readonly" name="dt" id="dt" type="datetime-local" step="1" />
