    I want to make a countdown timer to november 19 2006. I looked online and found a tutorial to do it in flash, but I just need some simple javascript.
    I want to put it on http://wiifantastic.com/index.php in the overview box.

    <script language="JavaScript">


function show() {
target = new Date("19 November, 2006"); 
targetEpoch = target.getTime();
today  = new Date();
todayEpoch  = today.getTime();

sLeft = Math.round((targetEpoch - todayEpoch)/1000);
var id = document.getElementById("time");
id.innerHTML = sLeft;
setTimeout("show()",1000);
}
</script>
<body onload="show()">
<div id="time" style="border:1px solid blue; padding:4px;"></div>
    HTML:
    this gives the seconds left..
    you can format it to be days, hours, seconds, ...
