Simple iframe clock via Free Clocks for Your Website

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/08/11

Using [WayBack] Free Clocks for Your Website, I created this clock for a 1920×1080 web dashboard which is a web page hosted on [WayBack] raw.githack.com with an iframe hosted at www.timeanddate.com

I know that is a risk, but that is OK for now: that site has existed for a very long time and probably will last a while.

There is a truckload of options you can use, despite the clock being simple. Luckily the [WayBack] FAQ: Free Clocks for Your Website explains these options.

This is the gist of the above “this clock” page:

overflow: hidden; /* remove scroll bars; does not work for iframes */
}

overflow: hidden; /* remove scroll bars; does not work for iframes */
background-color: azure;

.clock_iframe {

}
