In the codepen console:

Line 58 has

  getH = setTimeout('displayHour()', refreshH);

  getH = setTimeout('displayHour()', refreshH);

But getH is not defined anywhere. In addition, you don't pass a string into a setTimeout function, you pass a function reference. So it should read

getH = setTimeout(displayHour, refreshH);

getH = setTimeout(displayHour, refreshH);

Not a string so no ' and not a function call, but a function to call, so no (). However, I'mm not sure why you'd assign the return value (which is a timeoutID to a variable to never use. If your aim is to set a timeout then you call it like any other function

  setTimeout(displayHour, refreshH);

  setTimeout(displayHour, refreshH);

thanks for the help. i found the error, turns out i wasn't calling the functions in other. so i called the

refresh

refresh

functions before the

display

display

and it worked.
