Simple JavaScript Countdown Code

[BlueClawDad]

All - Here is a very simple piece of javascript that will produce text to countdowm to your upcoming events. You may need change a few lines. like

dateFuture = new Date(2011,2,18,19,45,00) - this is the date of the event, the date listed here is March 18, 2001 @ 7:45PM
{document.getElementById('countbox').innerHTML="Play Ball!";}, and -this is what it will say when the time expires
document.getElementById('countbox').innerHTML=out+" until Opening Day!"; - the words after the plus sign

you can see it on my site athttp://baseball.iscorecentral.com/baltimoreblueclaws

copy the lines below and paste them into the your site at the correct location, you will not see the result until you logout and refresh your home page..............................

<div id="countbox" style="position: absolute; left: 400px;">
<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
dateFuture = new Date(2011,2,18,19,45,00)



function GetCount(){

dateNow = new Date();

amount = dateFuture.getTime() - dateNow.getTime();

delete dateNow;

if(amount < 0)
{document.getElementById('countbox').innerHTML="Play Ball!";}
else{
days=0;hours=0;mins=0;secs=0;out="";
amount = Math.floor(amount/1000);

days=Math.floor(amount/86400);
amount=amount%86400;

hours=Math.floor(amount/3600);
amount=amount%3600;

mins=Math.floor(amount/60);
amount=amount%60;

secs=Math.floor(amount);

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 Opening Day!";

setTimeout("GetCount()", 1000);
}
}

window.onload=GetCount;
// ]]></script>
</div>
