Countdown timer

[nelson]

I've added the countdown timer on the bottom of the splash (home page):

1.- It appears on Safari on the Mac but not on Firefox.

2.- Is the timer visible on Firefox, IE, & Sadari on Windows XP/Vista?

If the home page is the splash page then no on Firefox PC

[Mindfreak87]

Works in Google Chrome but not the latest version of Firefox. [Windows XP][PC]

[nelson]

Yes, splash = home.

[Trailbreaker]

Firefox + XP, nothing.

How about IE (Internet Explorer) Vista/XP ?

[Mindfreak87]

IE Explorer v. 7.0.5730.13 works [Windows XP][PC]

[Michael Do]

doesn't work on FF 3.0.10 (XP)
work on IE 8 (xp)

Ok, I give up. Usually it works on everything but IE. Now this time it wont appear on FF on Mac or PC.

Any help would greatly be appreciated!

The javascript console of Firefox gave the error message like this..

document.all has no properties
http://www.michaelbay.com/countdown.js

09 is not a legal ECMA-262 octal constant
countdown_clock (09, 06, 24, 00, 00, 1);

Maybe "document.all" references in the script are causing the problem. Found some links talking about this..

Fixed the script, This appears on IE, Firefox and safari (Vista).

function countdown_clock(year, month, day, hour, minute, format)
{
//I chose a div as the container for the timer, but
//it can be an input tag inside a form, or anything
//who's displayed content can be changed through
//client-side scripting.
html_code = '<div id="countdown"></div>';
document.write(html_code);
countdown(year, month, day, hour, minute, format);
}
function countdown(year, month, day, hour, minute, format)
{
Today = new Date();
Todays_Year = Today.getFullYear() - 2000;
Todays_Month = Today.getMonth() + 1;
//Convert both today's date and the target date into miliseconds.
Todays_Date = (new Date(Todays_Year, Todays_Month, Today.getDate(),
Today.getHours(), Today.getMinutes(), Today.getSeconds())).getTime();
Target_Date = (new Date(year, month, day, hour, minute, 00)).getTime();
//Find their difference, and convert that into seconds.
Time_Left = Math.round((Target_Date - Todays_Date) / 1000);
if(Time_Left < 0)
Time_Left = 0;
switch(format)
{
case 0:
//The simplest way to display the time left.
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML = Time_Left + ' seconds';
break;
case 1:
//More datailed.
days = Math.floor(Time_Left / (60 * 60 * 24));
Time_Left %= (60 * 60 * 24);
hours = Math.floor(Time_Left / (60 * 60));
Time_Left %= (60 * 60);
minutes = Math.floor(Time_Left / 60);
Time_Left %= 60;
seconds = Time_Left;
dps = 's'; hps = 's'; mps = 's'; sps = 's';
//ps is short for plural suffix.
if(days == 1) dps ='';
if(hours == 1) hps ='';
if(minutes == 1) mps ='';
if(seconds == 1) sps ='';
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML = days + ' day' + dps + ': ';
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML += hours + ' hour' + hps + ': ';
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML += minutes + ' minute' + mps + ': ';
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML += seconds + ' second' + sps;
break;
default:
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML = Time_Left + ' seconds';
}
//Recursive call, keeps the clock ticking.
setTimeout('countdown(' + year + ',' + month + ',' + day + ',' + hour + ',' + minute + ',' + format + ');',
1000);
}
