You could possibly do it by redirecting.
When the date entered is reached you redirect to another page.

The page containing the script should be replace your index page with your original index page renamed and this name entered in the script

ie:
homepage.htm

The script then redirects to this page unless the time limit is up then it will redirect to another page.

ie:
downpage.htm





<script>
<!--
var y=2003 // enter year
var m=09 // enter month
var d=01 // enter date

var montharray=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
function countfrom(yr,m,d){
var today=new Date()
var todayy=today.getYear()
if (todayy < 1000)
todayy+=1900
var todaym=today.getMonth()
var todayd=today.getDate()
var todaystring=montharray[todaym]+" "+todayd+", "+todayy
var paststring=montharray[m-1]+" "+d+", "+yr
var difference=(Math.round((Date.parse(todaystring)-Date.parse(paststring))/(24*60*60*1000))*1)

if(difference>=30){
location="downpage.htm"
}
else{
location="homepage.htm"
}
}

function run_me(){
countfrom(y,m,d)
}

// add onload="run_me()" to the opening BODY tag

// -->
</script>

Add onload="run_me()" to the opening BODY tag

Don't count on perfect results doing this with javascript. 13% of your users will still see your site after its expired because they don't have javascript. And any other user of your site could disable Javascript and view the content after its expired.
