Adding a functioning javascript or similar date/clock script

For anyone interested:
This could be due to the "onload" property of the body tag. This is used in the Drupal template for loading jQuery onload handlers, and a HTML page can handle only one onload call.

So, if you want to use one of the nifty self-refreshing javascript snippets like a clock/timer, u have to use a jQuery onload handler, I have to dig in this myself, cant explain exactly how this is done.

I might get back on this.

1. Download the CoolClock files, and save them to your /files/ directory
2. In your theme's page.tpl.php file, add this to the "head" section, after <?php print $scripts ?>:
   
   <!--[if IE]><script type="text/javascript" src="/files/excanvas.js"></script><![endif]-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/files/coolclock.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/files/moreskins.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        if (Drupal.jsEnabled) {
                $(document).ready(
                  function() { CoolClock.findAndCreateClocks(); }
                );
        }(jQuery);
</script>
3. Add this code to a Full HTML block, or node where you want the clock to appear (modify the 'class' argument, according to Coolclock's documentation:
   <canvas id="clk1" class="CoolClock"></canvas>

I haven't tested it in IE. Other javascript in the page keeps working (like FCKEditor), although I haven't tried it with other scripts (Google Maps, for instance)
