Countdown Timer

Friday January 2, 2009
Tell your visitors how long to a specific date and time using JavaScript

Display a countdown on your web page. This one is slightly different from the usual JavaScript countdown because it takes into account the time difference between your location and that of the person viewing the page. You can select one specific month of the year or every month You can also select one specific day of the month, every day, or even adjust the day of the month to a specific day of the week.

Uruu…I’m looking to create multiple countdowns for a listing of shows which air weekly; do I have to create multiple .js files with different head variables, or is there another way of doing it? XD Thanks!!
