 Does anyone have some code that would create a countdown timer, so i could have one on my board somewhere?

Sorry about the topic title, must have missed a letter out by accident.

Thanks in advance.

Mine! Or I will help you not.

 Try this:

Code:
 
<br><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--var date = new Date(ENTER DATE);var now = new Date();var diff = date.getTime() - now.getTime();var days = Math.floor(diff / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));document.write("<b>" + (days + 1) + " ENTER TEXT HERE</b>" );//--></script><br>


OR

Code:
 
<br>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var date = new Date('ENTER DATE');
var now = new Date();
var diff = date.getTime() - now.getTime();
var days = Math.floor(diff / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
document.write("<b><font color="white">" + (days + 1) + " ENTER TEXT</b></font>" );
//-->
</script>
<br>


Also if you need to center it:
Code:
 
<center>code here </center>




I hope this helps

 I couldn't get any of this too work. What I want is a timer counting down to the release of Return of the King.

 You have to download and upload the images for it to work.
I suggest uploading them to Speedis (although it has been slow lately).

Then, change the script to the location of the images.

 i'm looking for the same thing. i want a countdown to the Return of the King.

i have the counter on my board, just don't know how to make it work!

i know you have to download the number files and host them but is there any other countdown that we don't have to do this? just like plain html?

please help!

Put that whereever you want the counter to appear and add in the proper date to count down from and whatever text you want in there. It's plain, but it works. :D

look through the code for the // marks... those indicate areas where you need to change or add something.
