Title: Countdown script
Post by: MissyNL on February 27, 2011, 11:05:43 AM

Hello,

Does anybody had a nice countdown script? I have tried several.... but all give this error:

Code: [Select]

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/xxx/domains/xxx/public_html/Sources/PortalBlocks.php(3333) : eval()'d code on line 1
thanks!

Have a look at Underdogs forum at www.askusaquestion.net

There may be something there.

It sounds like a simple parse error in one of your php blocks.
You could probably post code and get some help.

Try putting that code in a HTML block, rather than a PHP one.

Code: [Select]

<script language="JavaScript">
TargetDate = "12/31/2020 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://point_to_your/countdown.js"></script>

copy this into HTML Block , and change Script Source to your folder with countdown.js  (attached)

You can put the javascript in the html block without the file.

How do you want this to show and operate?

Here is a countdown of 20 seconds with a redirect to the root page: (example)

Code: [Select]

<table border="0" style="text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;">
<tr>
<td style="text-align:center;font-face: arial;">This page will redirect in </td>
<td style="text-align:center;"><form name="d">
<p><input type="text" size="2" name="d2" style="text-align:center;"></p>
</form>
</td>
<td style="text-align:center;">seconds.</td>
</tr>
</table>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var milisec=0
var seconds=20
var theUrl = location.protocol + "//" + location.hostname
document.d.d2.value='0'
function display(){
if (milisec>=0){
milisec=9
seconds-=1
if (seconds == 0){
      location.href = theUrl ;}
}
else
milisec-=1
document.d.d2.value=seconds
setTimeout("display()",1000)
}
display()
//-->
</script>

You need some additional logic for https protocol

MissyNL,
Does putting HTML and/or javascript in an HTML block fix your problem?
