UNIVERSAL COUNTDOWN SCRIPT FREE DOWNLOAD
 |
| EXAMPLE COUNTDOWN |
Description: There are basically two types of JavaScript countdown scripts, depending on what you're trying to do. The first type counts down using the time of the visitor's computer, which obviously varies depending on the visitor, and is great for counting down to "relative" events such as Christmas, your friend's birthday etc (See "Dynamic Countdown script"). The second type counts down using a specific local time (ie: Time in New York), and is great for counting down to "absolute" events where the target date/time is tied to a certain time zone, such as the launch date of a web site, the date/time of the next Solar Eclipse etc.
This is a Universal Countdown script that lets you count down to absolute events, by using your server's time to derive the local time in which the event is based on. The target date to count down to can be specific to the second if needed (ie: "April 23, 2009 2:37:30"). This script is extremely flexible- you can customize exactly how to display the output, or even specify a custom action to perform at the end of the countdown (ie: go to another page), by passing in your own custom format function.
Requirement: The page running this script must either be PHP, SSI (server side includes), or ASP enabled, as the script needs to rely on one of these technologies to access your server's time.
