First of all; You have two body tags....
second; the onload should be inside the bodytag, not behind it...

<BODY bgcolor="white" onLoad = "clock()" >
<SCRIPT Language="JavaScript">
<!--
function clock(){

Doggie you are a top man. This is what gets me frustated with Javascript (and other programming language I guessed), if you make a mistake it just does not work. What can I use to "debug" my script in Javascript? I am using note pad right now but is there a dedicated Javascript kind of writer that I could use to help me? Thanks again and see you probably very soon

I usualy edit my JavaScript/HTML and PHP in PSPAD or Textpad (both free to use) Not really debugging tools, but it colors your code and it are just nice editors...

For debugging JavaScript I usualy try the scripts in Mozilla Firefox, It gives better errormessages, and there are a lot of plugins that make a programmerslife much more pleasant.

And If you get errors try putting some alerts between your code so you can easily see where it goes wrong...

: In this your onLoad() is on the outside of your body tag. Besides that you are perfectly all right. Change your body tag to

<body onload='clock()'>
