As was mentioned, you need to have something on the server to provide it's time.
If you are interested in updating the time on a page via Javascript but want the time itself to be from the server you could consider using an Ajax call to a page on the server that returns the time.

JavaScript runs on the client machine, so no you cannot display the server time using Javascript. What you need is an SSI(Server Side Include) or another server side program like Perl, CGI, ASP or PHP.
