Help: Looking for javascript countdown script

[Compnerd]

Hi everyone, I am looking for a countdown script using javascript. If you have one, please let me know!

This is a simple function that i use on our website.

PHP Code:

function update(divID, seconds) {
        obj = document.getElementById(divID);
        var now = new Date();
        var output = "";
        var days, hours, minutes, second;
        var timeUntil = seconds - Math.round(now.valueOf()/1000);
        
        days = Math.floor(timeUntil/86400);  timeUntil -= days*86400;
        hours = Math.floor(timeUntil/3600);  timeUntil -= hours*3600;
        minutes = Math.floor(timeUntil/60);  timeUntil -= minutes*60;
        second = Math.floor(timeUntil);
        
        output += days + " Days, " + hours + " Hours, " + minutes + " Minutes, " + second + " Seconds";
        
        obj.innerHTML = output;
        window.setTimeout("update('" + divID + "', " + seconds + ")", 1000);
    } 


You supply the ID of the tag you want to fill with the countdown, and the UNIX timestamp of the event that will be occurring. make sure that you set a preliminary timeout function before using it the first time. for example:

PHP Code:

window.setTimeout("update('feild0', 1173963600)", 0); 


just for clarification, despite the tag, it is javascript.

Any of the above scripts are acceptable. Here's ours:

   
dateFuture = new Date(2007,2,28,24,0,0); // Set the date

function GetCount(){
    
    	dateNow = new Date();									//grab current date
    	amount = dateFuture.getTime() - dateNow.getTime();		//calc milliseconds between dates
    	delete dateNow;
    
    	// time is already past
    	if(amount < 0){
    		document.getElementById('countbox').innerHTML="Now!";
    	}
    	// date is still good
    	else{
    		days=0;hours=0;mins=0;secs=0;out="";
    
    		amount = Math.floor(amount/1000);//kill the "milliseconds" so just secs
    
    		days=Math.floor(amount/86400);//days
    		amount=amount%86400;
    
    		hours=Math.floor(amount/3600);//hours
    		amount=amount%3600;
    
    		mins=Math.floor(amount/60);//minutes
    		amount=amount%60;
    
    		secs=Math.floor(amount);//seconds
    
    		if(days != 0){out += days +" day"+((days!=1)?"s":"")+", ";}
    		if(days != 0 || hours != 0){out += hours +" hour"+((hours!=1)?"s":"")+", ";}
    		if(days != 0 || hours != 0 || mins != 0){out += mins +" minute"+((mins!=1)?"s":"")+", ";}
    		out += secs +" seconds";
    		document.getElementById('countbox').innerHTML=out + " until we attend the Palmetto Regional in SC!";
    
    		setTimeout("GetCount()", 1000);
    	}
    }

window.onload=function(){
    GetCount();
}

Make a div with an id countbox where you want the timer to be. Done!

Note: Its set currently to the Palmetto Regional, change the date to whatever you want
