Digital Clock Widget? No longer works.

I have a webpage I created sometime ago used this digital clock widget. Now, when I open the webpage it no longer works.

I tried to fix it by replacing it but I can't remember the original source. I tried the Designers Gallery but I couldn't find it.

Does anyone have an answer as to WHY it no longer works or if there is another similar widget I can use OR perhaps there is a way to create something similar using a placeholder (it wouldn't have to be graphically as glitzy?

Please see attached example.

You used code in a Placeholder for this solution already. Open the Placeholder HTML code (Body) to view where you got it from (Widgetbox). The site, however, no longer returns your widget particulars. :rolleyes:

Try searching Google for "widget" & "clock" but try looking for one with a JavaScript solution so you are not relying on an external resource.

Thanks for the quick response. I am a little rusty at this.

I didn't realize it was calling an external source until I saw the "src="http://cdn.widgetserver.com/syndication/subscriber/InsertWidget.js">"

A lot of widgets have stopped working or have been retooled. For a while most of the Google widgets were not working and I think now they are again. Problems with security or privacy probably.

I found some examples by Googleing "java script for a digital clock".

I altered some of the original code used in the Placeholder for Example 3 of the attached Xara file; however, I am not sure why the extra cell appears to the right of the clock (do a Preview Whole Website in Xara).
Any ideas?

Hi John,

Please see attached xar. I've split the head and body sections into the head and body of the page. I noticed you had the body section duplicated in your version, hence the second box.

Ugh! Thanks. I must have done that by accident while cutting and pasting.

Regards, John
