Sun Jul 24 20:44:47 CDT 2005

First try this script and than go to it's Internet source and giv'em some 
feedback

<!-- STEP ONE: Paste this code into the HEAD of your HTML document  -->

<HEAD>

var startTime=new Date();

function currentTime(){
  var a=Math.floor((new Date()-startTime)/100)/10;
  if (a%1==0) a+=".0";
  document.getElementById("endTime").innerHTML=a;
}

var loopTime=setInterval("currentTime()",100);
window.onload=function(){
  clearTimeout(loopTime);
}

// End -->
</script>
</HEAD>

<!-- STEP TWO: Copy this code into the BODY of your HTML document  -->

<BODY>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Begin
  document.write('This page took <span id="endTime">0.0</span> seconds to 
load.');
// End -->
</script>
