Countdown Clock Problem

[eitsfan]

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if someone may be able to help me out? Here is my delima:

I have a script for a countdown clock I used to countdown to the Daytona 500, 2003. I just tried to reactivate it but the actual days, hours, minutes, etc... are not appearing on my website. All I did differently was to change the countdown-to date. Here is the script:

<table width="225" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td height="118" valign="top">
<table width="190" border="1" bordercolor="#000000">
<tr>
<td height="129">
<table width="190" border="0"
background="" height="116">
<tr>
<td colspan="3">
<table border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td>
<script language="JavaScript1.2">

function setcountdown(theyear,themonth,theday,thehour,themin,thesec){
yr=theyear;mo=themonth;da=theday;hr=thehour;min=themin;sec=thesec
}

//////////CONFIGURE THE COUNTDOWN SCRIPT HERE//////////////////

//STEP 1: Configure the countdown-to date, in the format year, month, day, hour(0=midnight,23=11pm), minutes, seconds:
setcountdown(2004,02,15,13,00,00)

//STEP 2: Change the two text below to reflect the occasion, and message to display on that occasion, respectively
var occasion=""
var message_on_occasion="LET'S GO RACING!"

//STEP 3: Configure the below 5 variables to set the width, height, background color, and text style of the countdown area
var countdownwidth='125px'
var countdownheight='20px'
var countdownbgcolor='#FFFFFF'
var opentags='<b><font face="Verdana" color="black" size="2"><center>'
var closetags='</font></center></b>'

//////////DO NOT EDIT PAST THIS LINE//////////////////

var montharray=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
var crosscount=''

function start_countdown(){
if (document.layers)
document.countdownnsmain.visibility="show"
else if (document.all||document.getElementById)
crosscount=document.getElementById&&!document.all?document.getElementById("countdownie") : countdownie

}

dsec=Math.floor((((dd%(60*60*1000*24))%(60*60*1000))%(60*1000))/1000*1)
//if on day of occasion

Hi!

Your problem is quite small, but the code is quite long. In order to avoid posting such a code once more, I put it in the attachment.

There are just a few linebreaks in your code which result in your problem. Try the code from the attachment please.

Cheers - Pit

Thanks Pit!

And I apologize for the long code in the post! Have a happy and safe New Year!

Hi!

You're welcome! And - as far as I am concerned - no need to apologize for the long code. I just wanted to avoid it being posted a second time.

The best to you and everybody out there for the new year as well! ;)

Cheers - Pit
