Count Down

liserdarts

This code lets you count down the number of days to a specific date

Add the following code to a file named clock-js.asp. Then add the second set of code to a HTML file in the same folder and run it. Because the timer needs pictures to display numbers, you have to create some, or take the ones attached to this code. If you create them name them nmbr#.gif (0 – 9).

var nTime = new Date(2000, 8, 15, 3, 55, -3, 0);
var nTarget = Date.UTC(2001, 10, 29, 16, 47, 0, 0) + nTime.valueOf() - 968896375889;

Tick();
if (document.all)
   window.setInterval('Tick()', 1000);
else
   window.setTimeout('Tick()', 100);

function Tick()
{
   var dNow = new Date();
   nTime = nTarget - dNow.valueOf();    // milliseconds until target
   if (nTime < 0) nTime = 0;
   nTime = Math.floor(nTime / 1000);    // seconds until target
   Display(document.cdDay1, document.cdDay0, 86400);    // seconds per day
   Display(document.cdHour1, document.cdHour0, 3600);    // seconds per hour
   Display(document.cdMinute1, document.cdMinute0, 60); // seconds per minute
   Display(document.cdSecond1, document.cdSecond0, 1); // seconds per second
   if (document.layers)
       window.setTimeout('Tick()', 100);
}
   
function Display(el1, el0, nDivisor)
{
   var nOnes;
   var nValue = (nTime - (nTime %= nDivisor)) / nDivisor;
   el1.src = "nmbr" + (nValue - (nOnes = nValue % 10)) / 10 + ".gif";
   el0.src = "nmbr" + nOnes + ".gif";
}


HTML Code



<Table>
   <FORM NAME=CLOCK>
   <tr valign="top">
       <td align=center><b>Days</b></td>

       <td align=center><b>Hours</b></td>

    Sorry for replying so late, I don’t exactly check these things so often. I took a look at the code, and I really can’t remember how to set up the date. So I spent a wile rewriting the first two lines....

  • Entering a date

    I am new to this. Can you tell me where I insert the date. For example, if I want to show the number of days until Christmas 2002?

    Thanks.
