Good evening fellow Coffeecuppers!

Have a question for you guys. I have been asked by a client to add a count down timer similar to the one found here http://173.254.28.17/~temporb4/RIFFA/

Do you guys know of any free javascript timers i could use. Very simple application... need it to continuously count down until desired date is reached.

Thanks in advance

Here's the script that's being used on the page you posted.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.

I can get this script to work no issues.. problem is every time the page reloads the timer starts over. I have read the documentation.... can't figure it out. Hmmm. Eric can you see what I'm doing wrong?

Not without a link.;)
It should reset. Does it reset to a new count?

I will get one together tonight Eric thanks for looking at this with me. I will also get a link for you.

Basically I set it up then view the page and the counter starts, then if i hit refresh the counter resets again... ill keep digging too.

Appreciate that help.
