1) In this example, the date is set to August 19 th 2010, a date which is nearing...
<script type="text/javascript"> renderMessage("August 19, 2010", "Out Now!", "%days% days remain!"); </script>
2) In this example, the date is set to July 24 th 2010, a date which has passed...
<script type="text/javascript"> renderMessage("July 24, 2010", "Out Now!", "%days% days remain!"); </script>
3) In this example, the date is set to January 1 st 2030, a date in the future!...
<script type="text/javascript"> renderMessage("January 1, 2030", "Out Now!", "%days% days remain!"); </script>
4) In this example, the date is set to August 9 th 2010, a date which is nearing, images are used in the countdown...
<script type="text/javascript"> renderMessage("August 9, 2010", "<img src='outnow.gif' border='0' alt='Out Now!'>", "<img src='day_%days%.gif' border='0' alt='%days% days remain!'>"); </script>
5) In this example, I have set the event end date, how many days an event is on and the script shows how many days have passed in the event (rather than counting down to the end of the event)...
<script type="text/javascript"> renderMessage("August 16, 2010", "Sorry, Event has ended.", "Day %days% of 30", 30); </script>
6) You can even use the script to change an image every day, to do it you set an event date X days (where X is the number of images you have) in the future...
<script type="text/javascript"> renderMessage("August 2, 2010", "No images left to show :(", "<img src='image_%days%.gif' border='0' alt=\"Today's Image!\">"); </script>
