here's some basic java that we use on our site


<SCRIPT>
//change your event date event here.
var eventdate = new Date("Feb 26, 2004 12:00:00 PST");

function toSt(n)
{s=""
if(n<10) s+="0"
return s+n.toString();
}

function countdown()
{cl=document.clock;
d=new Date();
count=Math.floor((eventdate.getTime()-d.getTime())/1000);
if(count<=0)
{cl.days.value ="----";
cl.hours.value="--";
cl.mins.value="--";
cl.secs.value="--";
return;
}
cl.secs.value=toSt(count%60);
count=Math.floor(count/60);
cl.mins.value=toSt(count%60);
count=Math.floor(count/60);
cl.hours.value=toSt(count%24);
count=Math.floor(count/24);
cl.days.value=count;

setTimeout("countdown()",500);
}
// end script -->
