said: You can use the Javascript Date object to access the server's time information. For example, the Unix epoch timestamp (in milliseconds) can be accessed by doing: new Date().getTime() More info is here: <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date" rel="nofollow">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date</a> Typically in Javascript to work with times you just use that timestamp value, and then you can for example subtract one from the other and find out the difference in milliseconds between two times. var then = new Date().getTime() setTimeout(function() { var now = new Date().getTime(); var difference = now - then; // would be ~1000 which is 1000ms = 1 second }, 1000); Ya thats what I wanted to do, but wasn't sure we had access to the Date for some reason. I should have just tried it first. :)
