script in block with time display

hi there. i am looking to change the format of a block i have which displays current time. the issue is i want to be able to display it in 12 hours rather than 24 hour (military time). i would great appreciate help on what to change within the script of the block:

function tS(){ x=new Date(); x.setTime(x.getTime()); return x; }
function lZ(x){ return (x>9)?x:'0'+x; }
function dT(){ window.status='YOUR STATUS BALK TEXT HERE'; if(fr==0){ fr=1; document.write(''+eval(oT)+''); } tP.innerText=eval(oT); setTimeout('dT()',1000); }
var fr=0,oT=\"lZ(tS().getHours())+':'+lZ(tS().getMinutes())+':'+lZ(tS().getSeconds())+' '\";

Off the top of my head, try this (warning, not tested):

gremmie-
thank you it worked perfectly! Smile

i hate to be a bother, but any idea on how i might now add the AM/PM function and maybe have the first zero not appear if it's 1 - 9 o'clock? Right now when it's 8:20, the clock reads " 08:20". Thanks!

This will get rid of the leading zeros.

Code:

Give me a bit more for the AM/PM.

I haven't forgotten about the AM/PM thing. It isn't hard, I just haven't gotten the time yet to post something. Smile
