Topic: "turning webcams on and off" at different times of day
I thought I had a sweet, simple Javascript function to turn a webcam on and off depending on the time of day but I guess it's more complicated than I thought. So I sort of have two questions.
1) Is this the right tactic? If so, how can I fix it? What am I missing?
2) If this is wrong, how should I do it?
Thanks.

The code is essentially this:
<script language="Javascript">
<!--
now = new Date
if (now.getHours() < 8) {
document.write('<img src="http://www.XXXXXXX.com/wp/wp=content/themes/XXXX/img/webcam-offair.gif" alt="" />')
}
else if (now.getHours() < 12) {
document.write('<APPLET codebase="http://70.17.255.114:1205/program/" code="javaviewer.Viewer.class" archive="SonySncP1View.jar" name="viewer" width="340" height="270" hspace="0" vspace="0" align="top"><param name="ParamViewMode" value="00000003"><param name="ParamColorCtrlBack" value="000000"><param name="ParamColorPictFrame" value="000000">
