bonjour alliax

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function pad(number,length) {
    var str = '' + number;
    while (str.length < length)
        str = '0' + str;
    return str;
}
file://--></script>

lifted in its entirety from  http://developer.irt.org/script/183.htm

note:  if the last line above starts with file://--> (thanks a lot, outlook
express, and please fuck off, microsoft) then just remove the "file:"

the last line should start with a double slash, i.e. the javascript comment
to comment out the html closing comment, if you know what i mean
