Title: Countdown
Post by: Stupot on Thu 22/03/2007 01:09:34
No this isn't a Tribute to Richard Whitely OBE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Whitely), but more of a cry for help.

As some of you may know I'm going to Japan for a working holiday, and I've just booked my flight.
I'm really excited about it all and I want to put a countdown timer on my blog and/or website for my leaving date..
I did a search in google but the only ones it came up with were either plastered in adverts or had to be paid for.

Does anybody know any good sites where I might be able to find a decent timer that is FREE and doesn't look shite.
Cheers Guys, I appreciate it.

Sometimes you just have to search for the right thing!

- http://www.scripts.com/javascript-scripts/countdown-scripts/countdown-clock/

I googled for 'javascript countdown clock' and found a TON of worthy entries.  These were just four from the first page.  I'm sure any one of them can fit your needs.

Two? It's a long story, but there's MUCH more than two...

Hehe.
I've found one now, thanks guys.
I found one of these famous "Bush Clocks" that count down to the end of GWBs reign.
Then I just messed about with the parameters to get what I wanted.
Check out my site to see it in action.
