Try changing the three lines near the bottom to this.


var hours = countdown1; // % 24;
// var days = (countdown1 - hours) / 24;
document.getElementById(tzcd).innerHTML = /* days + " day" + (days == 1 ? '' : 's') + ' ' + */ hours+ 'h : ' +mins+ 'm : '+secs+'s';


Ironically I can't test it because it doesn't seem to work when I point it to tomorrow. Either it has trouble going across monthly boundaries or yearly ones or I'm using it incorrectly. I think it should work though.

Hmm for some reason Edit isn't working. Anyway, I wanted to let you know it seems to work in IE7 across the year boundary. It was FF1.5 where it didn't work for me.

david_kw

The problem appears to be

toDate.getYear()

which returns different things depending on the browser. See this link for more info.

http://www.quirksmode.org/js/datecompat.html

So if this is a problem you can probably change it to

toDate.getFullYear()

instead. That would change this line in your code.


if (month <= toDate.getMonth())toDate.setYear(toDate.getFullYear() + 1);


Which makes it work in FF1.5 as well.

david_kw

So what is the code Now...

can you edit it.. as i'm hopeless in Javascipts

Heh, ok I guess. I hope you can at least look at the differences between the scripts so you can learn something. I think of this forum as a place to ask questions so you can learn instead of somewhere to go to ask people to do work for you.

Thanks, for the help..

As for me being able to code myself.. i would really like to learn, but the person teaching me would have to have Lots of space time..
