Trade deadline countdown?

[ceffa2000]

Posters,

What does everyone think of having a trade countdown timer on the Inside Beat page? It could be at the top of the page but I have no idea how to write the script for it and figured if it was something people would be in favor of, somebody might know how to do it. I know CBS Sportsline has a counter on their page so I'm not sure if you could snag that code or anything.

 

I want to make sure its not going to drive anyone crazy in the process.

 

Repsond so we could take an informal poll to gauge interest.

I believe this is the java code or whatever that CBS Sportsline has:

 

<!-- START COUNTDOWN -->

<!--

.clockFace, .clockTxt  {font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 11px;color:#000000;}

.clocklabel            {font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 11px;color:#26248E;}

.clockborder {border:1px solid #26248E;}

-->

TRADE DEADLINE:

<script language="javascript">

    else if (IE && document.all[layer]) {

var dNow = new Date();

function Display(el2, el1, el0, nDivisor) {

var nValue = (nTime - (nTime %= nDivisor)) / nDivisor;

 

drawCountdown(el0,(nValue % 10));

Why did you quit SS2k5? WHYYYYYYYY????????

Probably because he is sick of doing trivial things like adding a countdown clock to the site

Whole lotta love. Thanks.

I'm iffy about adding a countdown clock because it's one more thing to f*** up the site. I dunno, it's a possibility.

God knows that's the last thing needed.

Just make sure you don't let Gage do it.
