    Can anyone help me write a script for a countup in HTML or Flash that doesnt go off the computer's time, but is written in the code. I need it in Days, hours and minutes also. I've tried the Myspace countups, but I just dont like them. If anyone can help me out with this, it'd be greatly appreciated.

    yr=theyear;mo=themonth;da=theday
    }

    //////////CONFIGURE THE countup SCRIPT HERE//////////////////

    //STEP 1: Configure the date to count up from, in the format year, month, day:
    //This date should be less than today
    setcountup(2005,8,01)

    //STEP 2: Configure text to be attached to count up
    var displaymessage="since Bob stopped smoking on August 1st, 2005 at 10am ."



    //STEP 3: Configure the below 5 variables to set the width, height, background color, and text style of the countup area
    var countupwidth='90%'
    var countupheight='40px' //applicable only in NS4
    var countupbgcolor=''
    var opentags='<font face="Verdana"><large>'
    var closetags='</large></font>'

    //////////DO NOT EDIT PASS THIS LINE//////////////////

    function countup(){

    else if (document.all||document.getElementById)
    crosscount.innerHTML=opentags+dday+ " days, "+dhour+" hours, "+dmin+" minutes, and "+dsec+" seconds "+displaymessage+closetags

    setTimeout("countup()",1000)
    }
    </script>
