    <p>The first code snippet, in the question, is invalid (bad <code>appendChild</code> call), but the second code snippet would work -- except that the <code>&lt;b&gt;</code> tag was added with empty contents.</p> <p>Anyway, since your base script is (wisely) loading jQuery, <em>use it</em>. jQuery's <code>.before()</code> works great here. The code would be:</p> <pre><code>GM_xmlhttpRequest ( { url: location.href, method: "HEAD", onload: function (rsp) { var serverTime = "Server date not reported!"; var RespDate = rsp.responseHeaders.match (/\bDate:\s+(.+?)(?:\n|\r)/i); if (RespDate &amp;&amp; RespDate.length &gt; 1) { serverTime = RespDate[1]; } $("#clock-wrapper").before ('&lt;b&gt;' + serverTime + '&lt;/b&gt;'); } } ); </code></pre> <hr> <p>If you want to re-fetch the server time every minute, or so, use javascript's <code>setInterval()</code>. Except that you need to avoid creating more than one <code>&lt;b&gt;</code> tag, so the code needs an additional check. It becomes:</p> <pre><code>getServerTime (); //-- Initial call //-- Recheck every minute var clkRefreshTimer = setInterval (getServerTime, 60 * 1000); // 60 seconds function getServerTime () { GM_xmlhttpRequest ( { url: location.href, method: "HEAD", onload: function (rsp) { var serverTime = "Server date not reported!"; var RespDate = rsp.responseHeaders.match (/\bDate:\s+(.+?)(?:\n|\r)/i); if (RespDate &amp;&amp; RespDate.length &gt; 1) { serverTime = RespDate[1]; } //-- Does our display node already exist? var ourTimeDisp = $("#gmTimeDisplay"); if (ourTimeDisp.length) { ourTimeDisp.text (serverTime); } else { $("#clock-wrapper").before ( '&lt;b id="gmTimeDisplay"&gt;' + serverTime + '&lt;/b&gt;' ); } } } ); } </code></pre> <hr> <p><strong>However</strong>, you might be smart to look up how to add a JS clock to the page and only call <code>GM_xmlhttpRequest</code> <em>once</em> just to initialize your new clock. Then your clock JS would update it as often as you liked without aggravating the server. </p>

    1. COjQuery is only in there because I tried to use jNode out of my other script in my first attempt and I didn't take it back out lol... but for once the jQuery you're trying to get me to use almost makes sense... I'll consider the clock thing, although I don't think this way will be a problem as unless the rules changed there are games on the site you are allowed to autorefresh on if you set it to more than 30 sec apart - so every 60 secs for the time shouldn't be a problem. My only problem is how it'll behave with my dialup connection - the clock might be better for that... or just run at load

    2. COI deleted the attempts, so I don't know if that empty tag was in my script or if it was a copy/paste error... I'm on my way to sleep, but I'll try this in the morning to make sure it works (and that I understand it lol) and then accept the answer... Hey, I'm not arguing about not using jQuery anymore (although it still confuses the heck out of me for some reason lol)!

    3. COSorry... I forgot about this. I tried the first one and it works great (haven't tried the refreshing version yet). I actually kind of looked for a clock before when I was trying to put a countdown clock on a page but couldn't find anything that worked (or that I could understand)... think you could point me to some resources? Anyways, thank you for a clear, understandable answer (again!)!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
