Different... Nice also, just a bit less impressive ;-) I can't answer your question, but I believe most of the SVG watches/clocks available (including one I wrote that I will put on my site, once I made SVG related pages...) are based on Adobe's code. http://www.adobe.com/svg/demos/clock.html For my file, I credited Adobe and included the original copyright notice. Now, not everybody is doing that. Perhaps some people reinvented the clock code without knowing Adobe's one... After all, there are not so many ways of getting the current time from the system, and of using declarative animation to make it move... > peepo.co.uk only uses public domain works.. Well, that's a problem similar to software patents... If you use some JavaScript code similar to Adobe's one, and it is hard to make it different, can you put your work in public domain or is it irremediably marked by Adobe seal? Other clocks/watches: Analog: http://svg.tutorial.aptico.de/showroom/uhr_analog.svg -- Very nice http://oskamp.dyndns.org/SiemensClock/SVG/ -- Realistic effects http://www2.tmn.it/xml/BASE.SVG -- With other widgets http://www.yettieplanet.com/clock/clock.svg Digital (easier!): http://svglbc.datenverdrahten.de/?code=digitaluhr&znr=on -- Primitive http://home.deds.nl/~svg/en/digiklok.htm -- Funny -- I saw another one with big red digits but I can't find it again...
