Countdown to the Year 2000
This is a "Three Part" Java Script that gets the time from the system clock of whoever visits your web page, figures out the exact time until midnight, Dec31st, 2000, and displays the countdown in a form "text input" box. The first part of the script resides in the heading of the page source code and it gets the clock and defines the functions of the countdown. The second part resides in the first <BODY> tag and starts the clock when the page is opened in the Browser. And the third part of the script places the results in a text input box on the form wherever you place it in the web page.
You can change the "End Date" setting to gear the countdown to any date you want, your birthday, your anniversary, whatever.
