<script>
function fullStatusBarClock() {
    var d = new Date();
    var dateStr = d.toDateString();
    var timeStr = d.toLocaleTimeString();
    
    // Combine date and ticking time
    window.status = "Today is: " + dateStr + " | Local Time: " + timeStr;
    
    // Update every second
    setTimeout(fullStatusBarClock, 1000);
}

// Initialize on page load
window.onload = fullStatusBarClock;
</script>

FAQ
