Asked Don twice over the past two weeks to briefly explain how this custom function can be implemented. Maybe he didn't receive e-mail. I hope he will see this note and explain how to implement this custom function.

Here is a revised version that is working for us on Windows. Windows uses IE to render WebViewer content, and Mac uses Safari.

Replace this:
document.getElementById(\"clock\").firstChild.nodeValue = currentTimeString;¶

With this:
document.getElementById(\"clock\").innerHTML = currentTimeString;¶

Thanks go to Alex Gibbons @Beezwax Datatools.
