This should be an easy one for most of you. I'm looking for a script that will contain 2 small windows. The first is like a highest count record and the second will just need to count the days until I reset it in the script. Just getting the second window would even be nice. Basicly this is for counting the days of a accident free environment. When some one slips and hurts their brain, I need to be able to start the counter over.

try this...

<html><body>
It has been&amp;nbsp;
<script type="text/javascript">
var dt = new Date(2003,0,5); // 5th Jan 2003
var now = new Date();
var nDays = Math.floor((now.getTime() - dt.getTime()) / 86400000);
document.write(nDays);
</script>
&amp;nbsp;days since the last balls up.
</body></html>

That is what I was looking for. You've saved me a ton of time. I was going to have to update this every day. The only reason I got this addition to my job was because I built a web page once. That was more then everyone else.

Thanks a lot.

Is there a way to have this number on a button that I created? currently it displays off to the bottom or to the right of the button.

Give the button a name and instead of doing a document.write, set the value of the button:

<button name="chkBtn" ....>

<script>
...
chkBtn.value=nDays;
...

I think I may have gotten that to work except that I can't see the number, it may be blended in with the button. Is there a way of changing the font and color of the text and can I add the text "days" to go with the script instead of putting it in the cell?

chkBtn.value=nDays+" Days";

This is what I put in current.value=nDays+" Days"; Current is what I named the image. I'm not able to display anything in the button. Black is the default font color isn't?

Image? If you are using an image on the button it will override the text.

Oh I see what you thought I was doing. What I did was create a gif image(button) in a cell and I wanted to display the number on top of that, but that may be a bigger and more complex script I'm guessing. Also, I tried using your code without a image and it isn't working. I'm not sure if I'm typing it wrong or what. I've try both of the following

chkBtn.value=nDays+" Days"; or
document.write=nDays+" Days";
