Post by JennyorAlice March 14th 2013, 7:10 pm

I want to make a counter visible on my forum counting down to an important event. What's the best way to do that?

Code:
 <head>
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var now = new Date();
var theevent = new Date("Sep 29 2007 00:00:01");
var seconds = (theevent - now) / 1000;
var minutes = seconds / 60;
var hours = minutes / 60;
var days = hours / 24;
ID=window.setTimeout("update();", 1000);
function update() {
now = new Date();
seconds = (theevent - now) / 1000;
seconds = Math.round(seconds);
minutes = seconds / 60;
minutes = Math.round(minutes);
hours = minutes / 60;
hours = Math.round(hours);
days = hours / 24;
days = Math.round(days);
document.form1.days.value = days;
document.form1.hours.value = hours;
document.form1.minutes.value = minutes;
document.form1.seconds.value = seconds;
ID=window.setTimeout("update();",1000);
}</script>
</head>
<body>

<p><font face="Arial" size="3">Countdown To January 31, 2000, at 12:00: </font></p>

I don't think you would be able to remove the logo or even allowed to remove it.

Okay, how do I edit the code candy_fear gave me?

The date I want to put in is September 3, 2013 and the reason is the next book in the series is being released on that day. So how can I make a countdown to that day? Can I put a title saying "Release Date" or "Countdown to 'I Am Alice' "?

var theevent = new Date("Sep 29 2007 00:00:01")

Thats the part that you need to change. So just change the date.

Yes, modify the text as you want it.
