try this (sorry I had to add spaces to this so I could actually read it):
Code:
<html>
<body>
<FORM name=count>
<INPUT size=73 name=count2>
</FORM>
</body>
</html>
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
//Count down until any date and time
var until = 'Party';
var current = 'A Title of some sort to display when time is up';
var montharray =
new Array('Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec');
var theyear;
var themonth;
var theday;
var thehr;
var themin;
var thesec;
function countstart(yr, mth, day, hour, min, sec) {
theyear = yr;
themonth = mth;
theday = day;
thehr = hour;
themin = min;
thesec = sec;
setTimeout('countdown()', 1000);
}
function countdown() {
var today = new Date();
var todayy = today.getYear();
if (todayy < 1000) {
todayy += 1900;
}
var todaym = today.getMonth();
var todayd = today.getDate();
var todayh = today.getHours();
var todaymin = today.getMinutes();
var todaysec = today.getSeconds();
var todaystring =
montharray[todaym]
+ ' ' + todayd
+ ', ' + todayy
+ ' ' + todayh
+ ':' + todaymin
+ ':' + todaysec;
futurestring =
montharray[themonth-1]
+ ' ' + theday
+ ', ' + theyear
+ ' ' + thehr
+ ':' + themin
+ ':' + thesec;
dd = Date.parse(futurestring) - Date.parse(todaystring);
dday = Math.floor(dd/(60*60*1000*24)*1);
dhour = Math.floor((dd%(60*60*1000*24))/(60*60*1000)*1);
dmin = Math.floor(((dd%(60*60*1000*24))%(60*60*1000))/(60*1000)*1);
dsec= Math.floor((((dd%(60*60*1000*24))%(60*60*1000))%(60*1000))/1000*1);
if (dday == 0 &&
dhour == 0 &&
dmin == 0 &&
dsec == 0) {
document.forms.count.count2.value = current;
return;
} else {
document.forms.count.count2.value=

}
//enter the count down date using the format year/month/day/hour/minute/seconds
countstart(2004,3,29,1,0,0);
