Make Your Own jQuery Digital Clock

It is indeed a nice feature to display current time using jQuery or a ticking digital clock on your webpage along with weather information. So in this post, I will show you how you can create your own jQuery digital clock with help of "jDigiClock" jQuery plugin.

jDigiClock is a jQuery plugin inspired from HTC Hero Clock Widget. Beauty of this plugin is that along with the time it also displays the weather information based on particular city. And it also provide option to see weather forecast for next 4 days. Above that the style looks amazing.

How to use it?

To use the jDigiClock plugin, include the jQuery library, the jDigiClock source file and jDigiClock core stylesheet file inside the <head> tag of your HTML document. And to setup jDigiClock, add the following jQuery code.

$(document).ready(function() {
   $('#digiclock').jdigiclock({
      // Configuration goes here
   });
});

jDigiClock expects a very basic HTML markup structure inside your HTML document:

<div id="digiclock"></div>
