    Countdown to election

    For any bloggers among you here is a simple countdown until we can get Labour out thingy.


    In <head> section:-

    script language=Javascript>
    <!--

    window.onload = init;
    function init()
    {
    setInterval("election()",1000);
    }
    function election()
    {
    var today = new Date();
    var sec = Math.floor((Date.parse("Jun 03, 2010")-today)/1000);
    var min = Math.floor(sec/60); sec = sec - 60*min;
    var hr = Math.floor(min/60); min = min - 60*hr;
    var dy = Math.floor(hr/24); hr = hr - 24*dy;
    document.getElementById("howlong").innerHTML=dy + " days, " + hr + " hours, " + min + " minutes, " + sec + " seconds";
    }

    //-->
    </script>


    In body text somewhere:-

    <p>Time until we can get shot of the New Labour bastards:<br>
    <span id="howlong" style="font-size:15px; color:red; text-align:center;">Too long</span></p>

    PS document.getElementById bit is all one line

    I don't go anywhere near code so I might be wrong but isn't there a possible flaw in that code in that the government might not wait until the last possible moment to have the election and it might be earlier than 3rd June?

      Indeed, but I suspect Brownstuff will cling on to the bitter end.
