Hi guys,

I'm looking for a code for a countdown timer which is not a javascript (<script> </script>) but rather something that probably calls a js file or direct html code. I'm sure it can be done but don't know how.

The reason I'm asking for this is because I want it on one of my sites that has a large percentage of users who don't have javascript enabled.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Ronald

If you wanted an actual counter that counts down..then i'd suggest flash or java if you cant use javascript

You need some sort of script that will do the countdown. Static HTML cannot accomplish this. And if you use an included js file, that's still Javascript. What about PHP or ASP? Do you have these?

What happens at the end of the countdown?

The reason I ask is, what ever scripting language you use for the event that occurs once the counter gets to zero can probably be used for the counter itself.

Do you need it to constantly refresh or just when they revisit the page?

just when they revisit the web page.

I'm open to a flash file too but I don't think there is flexibility is there?
