Need Help With CountDown Script

    Hello guys,

    I want to use a countdown script in my website, I have made some search but all of the scripts were based on a specific date but what I need is that the script counts down from ex. (6 days 12 hours 3 minutes 20 seconds) starting from the first visit of the user (cookie based). So not everyone will see the same time because the countdown starts unique from the first visit... and after the time is finished I want the user to be redirected to another page and can never reload the first page unless they clean coockies of course.

    Can someone help me with that?

    Thanks

    Why is that script not suitable? In my opinion it is..... Is also supports negative times....

    Yes, this is the part, what marks the end of the auction (each auction has different end date). In your system, this would be your specific date for the customer.
    I believe that storing the cookie for the visitor and displaying the countdown timer for the user has to be done manually, but it can be done very well using this script I pointed out.

    What I'm telling you is that I don't want an end date, are we clear?

    Lets say:

    Customer registered its first visit on the 1st of May at 17:00:00 and there is no end-date.
    What the timer should display?
