Need a countdown (timer) for your site?
Added by Brian Schwartz over 8 years ago
Here are a couple ways to display a countdown timer on your site:
OR use this script:¶
<center>
<script language="JavaScript">
TargetDate = "5/5/2020 5:00 AM";
BackColor = "palegreen";
ForeColor = "navy";
CountActive = true;
CountStepper = -1;
LeadingZero = true;
DisplayFormat = "%%D%% Days, %%H%% Hours, %%M%% Minutes, %%S%% Seconds.";
FinishMessage = "It is finally here!";
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://sandbox.selfpublish.org/js/countdown.js"></script>
</center>
Notice where you change the target date. You can also control colors if you look closely at the snippet:
BackColor = "palegreen";
ForeColor = "navy";
You can see both options in action at: http://winterlinestories.com/drafts/countdown.md¶
