  setTimeout('write_seconds()', 1000); // 1 second

  function write_seconds() {
   var span;
   if (document.getElementById) {
     span = document.getElementById('time');
     if (span && span.firstChild && span.firstChild.nodeType == 3) {
       span.firstChild.nodeValue = secs;
       secs++;
     }
     setTimeout('write_seconds()', 1000); // 1 second
