"Adding a countdown to my auction deluxe page"
 
   Is there a countdown available that I could add to my auction page to use in promotions that a member could see how many more days are left till the day? I would like to see it in the header portion of the site so it shows on all pages.

Example would be---- X Days left Until the grand opening!

   Thanks Len

Thats funny, I tried both of them and the second one looks the best. I dont know where to add them to the page header, my programing skills go back to the TI99 and Commodore 64 when I wrote a water testing program and stopped when windows showed up. If you could show me where to paste it in that would be super!!!

I just revealed my age

   If I use this line just above my script

align=\"center\"><center>

It centers my print nice, problem is that it centers anything else thats under it as well, what should I be putting in to stop it from centering the whole page all the way down.

after these lines you have to close the center using </center>
</script>
</font>

so then it should look like this:

</script>
</font>
</center>

   Thank you

Thats all it needed and looks good, I noticed that the / shuts it off and I should have known that.

How do I get the sentence to move down a line or two?

This whole site is great, you don't understand the hours I spend toying with it, its like the best present I ever got.

   You can only place this in one of two areas under the html header section, where you have it now, or under the top links/search bar,
to place it their then place your code under this line located at the bottom of the html header section:

<!-- END Top Item Search -->

   If you want your code moved down a line just add
<BR> in front of the code


or for two lines down add
<BR><BR>


If you want a space after you add the code
just add <BR> after the code


I hope that help's

Best Regards
Len
