I'm liking the Wrestlemania countdown at the top of the screen. Is that done in PHP or Javascript? How easy would it be to create one for a website, but with a different date?

"View Source"

(php)

This is the third time we've done it (because it's the third WrestleMania since we opened this board, probably).

Use this code, but with a different date:

$secs=1112572800-ctime();
$wtag="WrestleMania 21 begins in ".number_format($secs)." seconds";

So...pretty easy (assuming you have php)?

Two things: I'm not sure if my site HAS php - I'm assuming not, since it's on a free server.

Also, I didn't want to steal the code (by using the VIEW SOURCE function) without your permission. That's just wrong.

Thanks!

The neat thing about php is that you couldn't have done that even if you tried. The math is all done on the server before your browser even begins to render the page, so all you would see if you did view source would see would be the end result of the math, not the formula itself.

I believe you can easily do something like that in Javascript though. I haven't actually tried it out, but perhaps http://javascriptkit.com/javatutors/datedifference.shtml would help you out.


NOTE: The above post makes no sense. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Is the logo change every day done automatically, or manually? Not that I've any interest in using a countdown myself, I'm simply curious.


You want to watch the karo-net match, she wants to listen to music, so you compromise. You listen to music. You like Earth jazz, she likes Klingon opera, so you compromise-- you listen to Klingon opera.

It's been automatic, every day at midnight (CST) since January.

You know, Chris Jo tried to start a thread today, and it went poorly. (Check in the banished folder.) I must be in a nice, kind mood (it's payday)
