Does anyone have code for a countdown?
For example
England v Australia Ashes cricket starts on July 8th
The countdown will show how many days/minutes untill the start of the match
-
Hmmm...

Can this be added straight to a block? :nervous-happy:
-
Looks like it..
-
Seems to work except the timer doesn't change. :(
In my opinion the more moving things on the portal the better.
-
AFAIK, that is a static timer. Meaning the time only changes on refresh.
-
Thanks for this. I now have it on my site..........
-
a good option will be a link to events in the calendar! :)
-
Hmmmm if you now the id of the entrie this would be possible, but the problem is that you normal not see this id :(.
-
you can use this
if its too big you can resize it its SWF afterall
clickhere (http://www.flepstudio.org/forum/flepstudio-utilities/2960-flash-cs3-countdown.html)
-
here you go
save the following as "countdownpro_expanded.js"

Script: CountDownPro Timer
Description: Counts down or up from a date, fully customisable display, customisable events when countdown reaches zero! Development version - not to be used in a production environment.
Author: Andrew Urquhart
Home: http://www.andrewu.co.uk/clj/countdown/pro/
History:
20040317 1125UTC v1 Andrew Urquhart Based on countdown.js
20040331 1408BST v1.3 Andrew Urquhart Attempts to add to the currently window.onload schedule, rather than overriding it
20040507 1243BST v1.4 Andrew Urquhart Modified plural behaviour to act as a replacement for the mainlabel rather than a concatenation for those languages (e.g. Greek) that don't use concatenation for plurals but different words
20051231 2057GMT v1.5 Andrew Urquhart Switched to custom date format and custom date parser for better internationalisation and cross-browser compatibility (should fix reports of recent bugs in Mac browsers). Removed date parsing on every loop by storing event date object in global scope. Removed getElementById search on every loop by storing reference to DOM node in global scope.
20060101 1738GMT v1.51 Andrew Urquhart Made counter update 0.1s after the last whole second to ensure that we don't display the same second twice. Updated media playback - have it working in Op8,FF.
