I've only had a very quick preliminary search but is it possible to automatically change a specific element with javascript or jquery depending on the time?.. or by the local time of the puter who is viewing the webpage.

For instance say I have a <h2>Good Morning</h2> display before 12pm, and then automatically it would change to to <h2>Good Afternoon</h2> once it gets past this time.

I honestly, have not looked very deep into at all, but just wondering if this possible, and if so, is there a particular plugin that would aide me with this/what is the best way to do it?

• 1 Yes it is possible and you don't need any plugins. You just need to check the docs on the Date object in javascript. – Vivek Pradhan Commented Nov 12, 2014 at 5:40

Don't need jQuery.

document.getElementById('greeting').innerHTML = new Date().getHours() >= 12 ? 'Good Afternoon' : 'Good Morning';

Javascript's Date object is you best bet to get the time.

Once you know the time, it's easy to change the text in the header.

The text changes, might be done using cron job , if it is possible , you can do it just add or activate the css for the same element.
