Countdown script that works with XHTML strict

Hi.

I'm looking for a basic countdown script which will work with XHTML strict (ie. not use any form of document.write)

Does anyone have this available?

What I need is a script where I can pull info from a database, and use this as values (for instance, the date it will be counting down to, and a way to get values for the text). But basically I just need a javascript which will take a variable for text and date, and countdown until that date, and then display a message that the countdown is finished - very basic countdown script.

The rest I'll be able to "hack together" myself, I guess.

Any help will be much appreciated!

 

Anyone have anything like this available? Or hints as to where I can read up on making something like this?

 

some Counter Javascripts from my JavaScript library that perhap you need

 

Thanks! I found what I was looking for among the scripts there! A little tweaking, and it all works now!
