This is quite easy to do.
Here is how it is done.
<!-- START Javascript function for countdown --><script type="text/javascript">
var HOURS_IN_DAY = 24;
var MINS_IN_HOUR = 60;
var SECS_IN_MIN = 60;
var DAY_FROM_MSEC = 1000/60/60/24;
var HOUR_FROM_MSEC = 1000/60/60;
var MIN_FROM_MSEC = 1000/60;
var SEC_FROM_MSEC = 1000;function countdown(yr, mn, dy, id)
{
if(document.getElementById(id))
{
// refer to the id
var div = document.getElementById(id);
var dtNow = new Date();
var dtFuture = new Date(yr, mn, dy);
var dtDiff = new Date();
dtDiff.setTime(dtFuture.getTime() - dtNow.getTime() );
var tmDay = Math.ceil(dtDiff/ 1000/60/60/24);
var tmHour = Math.ceil(dtDiff/ 1000/60/60);
tmHour1 = (HOURS_IN_DAY - 1) + (tmHour - tmDay * HOURS_IN_DAY);
var tmMin = Math.ceil(dtDiff/ 1000/60);
tmMin1 = (MINS_IN_HOUR - 1) + (tmMin - tmHour * MINS_IN_HOUR);
var tmSec = Math.ceil(dtDiff/ 1000);
tmSec1 = (SECS_IN_MIN - 1) + (tmSec - tmMin * SECS_IN_MIN);
div.innerHTML = tmDay + " day(s) " + tmHour1 + " hour(s) "
+ tmMin1 + " min(s) " + tmSec1 + " sec(s) ";
}
}
// Add the date that you want to countdown// Remember months start at zero i.e. 8 = September NOT August
// Example = 30th September 2006
// 'coundown' refers to the name we give to the <div> tag that will contain the coundown
// You can add multiple countdowns by adding copies of the below line and changing 'countdown1' for another name i.e. 'countdown2'setInterval("countdown('2006', '8', '30', 'countdown1');", SEC_FROM_MSEC);
</script><!-- END Javascript function for countdown -->
[2] In HTML view add the following text anywhere between the <body> and </body> tag
<div name="countdown1" id="countdown1">Test</div >
NOTE: you can add multiple countdowns by adding the above line again and then changing 'countdown1' to another name i.e. 'countdown2'.
Please try it
I hope this makes sense!!
