  <li>Also I have JavaScript that updates current time, that is used in CountDownHelper. </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I need to call AJAX from this JavaScript to get current Time on server. 
  How I can to do it? Please help me! I must it done about several hours!</p>
  
  <p>Below you may see this javaScript and in its end my try to call AJAX. I have tried to write GetServerTime.html in several ways, but anyone from which don't work. ((( </p>
