The keychain is really cool. I check my countdown on my website every day.
I also use a Palm Pilot at work. There is a program called Big Clock that can also be used as a countdown timer (only goes up to 99 days).
Thanks for sharing this.

Don't feel embarresed Bella for buying one for yourself..Disney and being a kid is what its all about.You are definetly not alone.I not only bought the desk model for me, but a keychain as well..
That wasn't the end either,I felt guilty for treating myself, so I bought keychains for my kids, and also for my 5 Niece's & Nephews..Now I can't wait to get them so I can be the first in my neighborhood to have them..:p :Pinkbounc

So it did work. Yeah my DW - that usually posts on this account - will be happy.
So to get one to work, you need to put the following into the Signature for your profile:
<Script language='Javascript'>var rndNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10000);eval("var CDTDate" + rndNum + " = 'September 20,2002 6:00:00 PM EST';");document.writeln("<form name='CDTform" + rndNum + "' action='java script:void(0);'>");document.writeln('<font size=2 color=blue>Countdown to the Magic Kingdom!<img src="images/smilies/boldpurple.gif" border="0" alt=""><img src="images/smilies/sunny.gif" border="0" alt=""></font><br>');document.writeln("<input type=text value='' size=40 name='WrittenByJamesMVenglarikII'>");document.writeln("</form>");if (theFunction) theFunction += "var d = new Date();";else var theFunction = "var d = new Date();";theFunction += "var c = new Date('" + eval("CDTDate" + rndNum) + "');";theFunction += "var tzo = (c.getTimezoneOffset() - d.getTimezoneOffset()) * 60;";theFunction += "var diff = ((c - d)/1000) + tzo;";theFunction += "var days = Math.floor(diff / 86400);";theFunction += "var rem = diff - (days * 86400);";theFunction += "var hours = Math.floor(rem / 3600);";theFunction += "rem = rem - (hours * 3600);";theFunction += "var minutes = Math.floor(rem / 60);";theFunction += "rem = rem - (minutes * 60);";theFunction += "var seconds = Math.floor(rem);";theFunction += "if ((days < 0) | (hours < 0) | (minutes < 0) | (seconds < 0)) ";theFunction += "var out = 'I\\'m outta here!';";theFunction += "else ";theFunction += "var out = ' ' + days + ' days ' + hours + ' hrs. ' + minutes + ' mins. ' + seconds + ' secs.';";theFunction += "document.forms.CDTform" + rndNum + ".elements.WrittenByJamesMVenglarikII.value = out;";setInterval(theFunction, 1000);</Script>
Replace the date with the date and time you are leaving. You can also replace the message (Countdown to the Magic Kingdom!) with whatever you want and the images as well.
That will do it on any new posts. Pretty simple. Let me know if you have questions

Okay! Where is everyone getting the count down clocks in their posts?

Okay so I goofed. That's what happens when I get in and forget to preview before actually posting.
Basically, use the View Source command from a popup menu on this page and look for "Script language=". Copy everything from < before this to the "/Script>" later. Put this into your signature and change the date.
