If i wanted my website to have a countdown clock counting the time between now and September 7th 2010, how would i do that?

It would show remaining days + hours + minutes + seconds

Thanks

How did you go? If you need help implementing the script/flash, just post a link to the one you've chosen

Have a look at how they do it then:

within1000days.com/countdown.js

Edit: The author has actually gone to the trouble of giving the example code and telling you that you can use his work.

See what you mean. Still a novice at web-development. Thank you very much for pointing this out.

It's not easy if you are starting out as his code needs a little re-arranging in your page; thought I'd it try myself. It counts down to my birthday:

Use your web browser to view the source of that page and copy and paste it into a new one of your own. Have a play and hopefully transplant it into your final page. :)
