Suggestion countdown timer

[cowprintrabbit]

I was on another message board (Disney-related) and they all had these cool countdown timers (days, hours, min, seconds) in their signatures for various events. But they wouldn't share the code, one of the mods had to do it for you :-(

Anyone know how to do it? NetDoc? TechAdmin?

I can see it now - 110 days to Oahu! :dazzler1:

What do you guys think-- Do these fins make my butt look big?

This is the same kind of question that my wife always asks.
I usaully answer " do you want the truth or just what you want to hear?" :dazzler1:

Gator - you only plan to live to be 87? (Must be that weight problem bringing you down...)

 

[OneBrightGator]

Not my plan, but deathclock.com can't be wrong, can it?

Gator, I don't know what you're doing wrong, but according to that site, I'm going to live to be 102 years old!

Thanks for the giggles,

TA, not sure if you are still looking for a list of time zones, but here's one though its not from an official agency: http://www.worldtimezone.com/wtz-names/timezonenames.html

Can you not incorporate the same drop down menu that is used in the CP Date & Time Options? Just a thought.

The problem isn't getting the list so much as it is finding the list that javascript uses. For some reason seemingly standard timezones are not being accepted by javascript. I will do a little more research into this problem tonight.

Oh, OK, sorry I misunderstood.

Also, I just set up a countdown timer but I don't see it. What did I do wrong? I'm using the portal skin.

The issue was with a timezone which the system didn't recognize, hence the timezone problem!
