I am currently looking for a counter to countdown the days till the release of the new Evanescence DVD (Shocker.) and I don't know where to find one. I know it exists because I saw someone on an Evanescence forum carrying it when their signature. Is it possible to find a counter and set it to countdown from X amount of days till the actual day of the event? Thanks to anyone who finds one, I will really appreciate it.

Well, both of them are javascript, so you don't have to download a program so much as download a script. Anytime you run anything java on a page, then the script has to be in the same directory on the server as the page that's calling that script - so what you do is download the script from one of those pages, then put the script on your webserver.

I'll keep digging, though, for an HTML one. I don't think you'll be able to do an actual countdown timer, so much as just have the page display "x time to release" statically. Refreshing the page would change the time.

Thank you very much Shapu. I'll look for counters as well. If there is no HTML one than I'll use the java one provided by you. Thanks.

this could easily be done with php and an image. I once had a dynamic image in my sig here but it was removed :)
Just search around for php dynamic images and counterdowners :).


Since these are no longer temporary forums, I will update my signature.

I hadn't even thought about that.

Here's a link to a static countdown PHP script (with a link to another javascript counter in it)

Wow, thanks guys. The sad part is I have been trying to get both PHP and JAVA counters to work and I can't. Can anyone inform me on how to do it?
