Newbie Javascript Question

[Steevo]

Does anyone know how I can alter the following script so that I can place it
in the header of my web page. I would then like to be able to insert a
command in the body section to make the "good morning" etc. appear?


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
today = new Date();
time = today.getHours();
if(time < 12)
{document.write("Good Morning")}
else
if(time <18)
{document.write("Good Afternoon")}
else
{document.write("Good Evening, ")}
</SCRIPT>



Many thanks

You can place the following code anywhere... in the HEAD or BODY...

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function greetMessage()
{
today = new Date();
time = today.getHours();
if(time < 12)
{document.write("Good Morning")}
else
if(time <18)
{document.write("Good Afternoon")}
else
{document.write("Good Evening, ")}

}
</SCRIPT>

Then... to use it, just use the following

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
greetMessage();
</SCRIPT>


I'm also a newbie at javascript, but I am pretty sure that should do what
you want...
