Free Javascripts - Countdown Timer

Countdown Timer

In a Nutshell: If you have an event launch or website feature to release at a particular time and wish to build buzz, this free Javascript countdown timer could be just the ticket. Set the time that you wish to laucnh your big event and this clock will automatically count down to that specific moment.

BIG LAUNCH HAPPENS AT:

Use it Yourself - Step 1: The Countdown Timer requires that the following is added to the <body> section of your page, where appropriate. The DIV tags should appear wherever you want the clock displayed. The SCRIPT elements can appear anywhere in the BODY.

Importantly, replace "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS" with the desired end date and time for the countdown. Make sure you have an HTML element with the id "demo" to display the countdown.

In the countdown timer code "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS" represents the format for the date and time where:

YYYY is the year, for example, 2023.

MM is the month, for example, 12 for December.

DD is the day of the month, for example, 25.

T is a separator that indicates the start of the time part of the timestamp.

HH is the hour, for example, 15 for 3 PM (in 24-hour format).

MM (following the HH) is the minutes, for example, 30.

SS is the seconds, for example, 00.

So, if you want to set the countdown timer to end at 4:00 PM on December 25, 2024, you would write it as "2024-12-25T16:00:00". This format follows the ISO 8601 standard for date and time representation.

This is a basic implementation. Depending on your needs, you might want to customize the appearance and behavior of the timer using CSS and additional JavaScript.

Step 2: Then, copy and paste the following CSS code into the <head> section of your HTML, to control the styling of the clock. You can edit this code to change the color of the text, should you wish.

Step 3: Finally, copy and paste the following HTML code into the <body> section of your HTML, wherever you wish for the countdown timer to appear.
