Javascript Countdown Script
Here is a simple javascript to estimate the number of seconds and days left before new year.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=”JavaScript”>
function days_between(date1, date2) {
var ONE_DAY = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24
var date1_ms = date1.getTime()
var date2_ms = date2.getTime()
var difference_ms = Math.abs(date1_ms - date2_ms)
return Math.round(difference_ms/ONE_DAY)
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=”JavaScript”>
var current_date = new Date()
var new_years_date = new Date()
new_years_date.setYear(new_years_date.getFullYear() + 1)
new_years_date.setMonth(0)
new_years_date.setDate(1)
var days_left = days_between(current_date, new_years_date)
var time_left = days_between(current_date, new_years_date)*24*60*60
// Write the result to the page
if (days_left > 1) {
document.write(”<b>There are ” + time_left + ” seconds left this year.That means “+
days_left +” days left </b>”)
}
else {
document.write(”<b>There is ” + days_left + ” seconds left this year.</b>”)
}
</script>
