does anyone know how to do a countdown to august 25 that shows off days, minutes and seconds?
 
ok i've figured out how to do a countdown but can't figure out how to format it so it looks how i want, i want to be able to play with the word days and make it bigger different colors etc. here is the code i used

now = new Date();
euro = new Date (2002, 7, 25, 10, 30, 0);
days = (euro-now)/1000/60/60/24;
daysRound = Math.floor(days);
hours = (euro-now)/1000/60/60-(24*daysRound);
hoursRound = Math.floor(hours);
minutes = (euro-now)/1000/60-(24*60*daysRound)-(60*hoursRound);
minutesRound = Math.floor(minutes);
seconds = (euro-now)/1000-(24*60*60*daysRound)-(60*60*hoursRound)-(60*minutesRound);
secondsRound = Math.round(seconds);
if (secondsRound == 1) {
sec = " second ";
} else {
sec = " seconds ";
}
if (minutesRound == 1) {
min = " minute ";
} else {
min = " minutes ";
}
if (hoursRound == 1) {
hr = " hour ";
} else {
hr = " hours ";
}
if (daysRound == 1) {
dy = " day ";
} else {
dy = " days ";
}
timeRemaining = daysRound+dy+hoursRound+hr+minutesRound+min+secondsRound+sec;

glad to see still here. This forum would be lost without guys like you.

Big Dave's been MIA this days. I wonder how he's been?
