EDITED FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF EVERYONE!

Sorry for my uneffective way of making this topic. I don’t know if it’s even in the right place, but I think it’s Javascript related so here it goes.

I need to know how to make a counter, not your tipical counter, like a countdown counter. Something like what you can see here:
[URL=http://www.superherohype.com/batman/]http://www.superherohype.com/batman/[/URL]

I have no clue how to make one and I’ve been searching franticly across the web. I just need to put this on my website quick because people are hasseling me for a countdown until a big event. Please help! I’m sorry if this is an easy job or a stupid question that was already answered elswhere (though I assure you I did look extensively!) but I have just run out of time. I’d apreciate any help anyone could give…

@zinger2099authorSep 05.2004 — wow I didn't think anyone was going to reply because of my very bad subject title. I can't seem to find what I'm looking for there... You sure that page will have it?

@JonaSep 05.2004 — [font=trebuchet ms]Don't use the search box, use the categorized index (look under "clocks" for example). The navigation is set horizontally at the top of the page, and this script is a common one, so I would be very suprised if they [i]didn't[/i] have it.[/font]

&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;
&lt;!--
// Code does not account for leap years
//JS counts months from 0 to 11, September = 8
var ToDate=new Date(2009,08,10);

var seconds=1000;
var minutes=seconds*60;

var years=days*365;



document.getElementById('todate').value=ToDate;
document.getElementById('UntilDate').value=UntilDate;
document.getElementById('timeleft').value=TimeLeft;

function Until(){
var UntilDate=new Date();
var TimeLeft=ToDate-UntilDate;

YearsUntil=Math.floor(TimeLeft/years);
Balance=TimeLeft%years;
document.getElementById('Syears').value=YearsUntil;

}

setInterval('Until()',1000);

&lt;/script&gt;

@zinger2099authorSep 05.2004 — thanks for the coding and all but no matter how I edit it it doesn't seem to want to work the way I want it to work. I'm trying to get a countdown that's almost identical (if not identical) to what you can see here:

[URL=http://www.superherohype.com/batman]http://www.superherohype.com/batman[/URL]


Any help would be apreciated.

@zinger2099authorSep 05.2004 — update: no I have not sucessfully created my countdown yet. The best I've gotten was one that only counts days. I'm trying to edit it to include hours, minutes and seconds but have yet to suceed. Still hoping someone will stop by to help but remain sceptical of such a thing to happen. Still trying though.
