Lets say the dead line is May 01, 2003 at 08:00.

Is there a script that will do that countdown?

Thanks for the help. But which section do I delete or add in order to view it on the window rather than on the status bar?

Anyone know? I'm new at computer programming, so I'm not as good as all of you.

Here's Glenn's script, slightly modified to send the text to a SPAN tag with an ID of "showCountdown". Hope this helps!

Thanks for responding. But the script didn't work for me.

Also, is it possible to make everything double digit? Even converting the 1's into 01's.

It's fixed, and it should do what you want it to.

WORKED!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot!

This is a nice tool to have for my dead lines.
