Hello again..
Bill i want to ask you something.
As we can see in other web pages that uses this or similar scripts for count down, when a countdown timer is in 10 minutes for eg when you refresh the web page the time remains and continues to count down.
Is it possible with your script?
When i am refreshing the web page the countdown starts from the beggining.

Use the onComplete event:
onComplete: function() { window.location.href='' } @CO
Thank you for your kind words.
I haven’t developed the joomla port myself, OfertaWeb did.
So I may be unfamiliar with some of the things that might cause this.
Anyway, if you have have a link of the problem please send it over and I’ll try to help.

Sure, just delete the HTML code for weeks and days and you are set.
@George
PHP code will always be executed before Javascript as the first on is server side and the latter is client side.
You can use AJAX to achieve what you want.
@George
Use a set date if you want to do that.
Alternatively, use the server session store to save the target time and set the setup variables accordingly.
for eg vassilis?
Hi,
When using a date that require more than 99 weeks off it squishes the weeks digits together too much.
Would it be possible to add another column of months to script?
Gary
Would someone be so kind as to show the complete script with weeks omitted and 3 digit days added?
Great plugin!
But I’m wanting to know how this could be modified to include capability for timezones, I have a specific case where I need to only show the countdown if before 4:00PM/16:00 EDT(eastern daylight time) but the countdown will still be showing for everyone west of the EDT timezone at 4:00PM/16:00 which is not desired.
Can this be used on wordpress blog?
Love the script, however I’m having some issues with IE where the Days/Hours/Mins don’t always load, load halfway, or only one number loads. Is there some trick to force IE to behave correctly?
Thanks
Hi Boone,
Thanks for your interest in the script.
I’ve posted a quick answer in your jquery forum post
Let me know if I can help any further.
@Alex
Of course it can.
I’m guessing you could use this with the maintenance mode wp plugin
Update to version 1.0.
Grab it while it’s hot!
