Hello All-
I need some help with a countdown clock.
I have the script to work where once it hits this time and day, it alerts you with whatever I put in alert().
However I want to change it so that once it hits this time and day, a new countdown clock displays with the new countdown time.
IE.
Once it hits November 7, 2007,
display “Shopping Time Remaining” + new countdown time.
This is what I have.

/////CUSTOM FORMAT OUTPUT FUNCTIONS BELOW//////////////////////////////
//Create your own custom format function to pass into cdLocalTime.displaycountdown()

//Use arguments[1] to access “Hours” left
//Use arguments[2] to access “Minutes” left
//Use arguments[3] to access “Seconds” left

//For example, if “baseunit” is set to “hours”, arguments[0] becomes meaningless and contains “n/a”
//For example, if “baseunit” is set to “minutes”, arguments[0] and arguments[1] become meaningless etc
//1) Display countdown using plain text
