CSS3 clock with no JavaScript

HTML and CSS XSLT JavaScript Images Soft Etc

Safari 4+, Firefox 6+ or Chrome 13+ required to view this example.

	Task:	to create a clock without using images or JavaScript.

The initial hand position is set in a dynamic CSS which is generated by a server script written in PHP (1,57 KB) or Parser Parser (1,34 KB). The correct prefix for @keyframes is determined by HTTP_USER_AGENT.

The clock shows Moscow time (UTC+4). Local time can be shown based on user profile settings or by quering an IP database.

Dynamic CSS:

/* UTC+4 time 22:17:13 */
/* Browser prefix: -webkit- */

.myClockJS .dial .arr b:nth-child(1)
, .myClockJS .dial .arr b:nth-child(2)
{
    -webkit-animation-name: arr1;
}
@-webkit-keyframes arr1 {
    from { -webkit-transform: rotate(669deg)}
    to { -webkit-transform: rotate(1029deg)}
}
.myClockJS .dial .arr b:nth-child(3)
, .myClockJS .dial .arr b:nth-child(4)
{
    -webkit-animation-name: arr2;
}
@-webkit-keyframes arr2 {
    from { -webkit-transform: rotate(103deg)}
    to { -webkit-transform: rotate(463deg)}
}
.myClockJS .dial .arr b:nth-child(5)
