Countdown Clock

[StuckinChicago]

Thats ok, I can just go to huskerpedia....my NEW favorite husker site that has all the bells and whistles, including a count down clock. Jealous yet? :sarcasm

BTW, let me clarify - the decision is not mine to make, of course. That's Blackshirt's call.

no ruling from blackshirt

Saw this topic start on friday before I left town for a wedding and wanted to see how it developed before I made the call - and it definitely appears that its in high demand - but my capabilities are still limited where I currently am so I'll take care of it within the next couple days... tick tock tick tock. Good suggestion NH - I should be able to get ahold of the code, thanks.

I will help ya out. Here is the code, just put this in the body & header box under board wrappers in the admin CP and it should be good to go. I can change the logo each week when a new opponent is up next. Then you can do the next opponent photo or i can do it and send it to you each week and all you would have to do is just change the url :thumbs

If it's easy, why not, thanks for the research and comments on it.

Actually, I think the clock would make the season seem to be coming faster. Becuase we are chipping away with every little tick! Would love to see the clock, it would be a great addition to the boards IMO. :thumbs

Okay, finally got a chance to get this added. The only problem is that the stylesheet the board uses causes all table borders to display, and I cant change this property b/c we need borders on the other tables - and as far as I know the script has to have columns to keep organized; so unless Nameless can design it so the table doesnt have columns/rows, this might have to do. Unless someone has other suggestions.

Overall I think it looks real slick -- great job Nameless! Sure if you could send me the updated image with each weeks new opponent it would be much appreciated. Thanks for your help. :cheers

Geez, just cant please you guys can I?!!! First you say the season cant get here soon enough, then I deliver on your request and now its going by too fast!!! For the love of.

Blackshirt, before you do that, a couple of questions to those who are seeing skipped numbers:

1. Are you using FireFox, Mozilla, or some browser other than IE?

2. Are you on boardband or dialup?

The reason I ask is that in IE (haven't checked in FireFox) and with broadband, I don't see any skipping. If the users who see skipping are using another browser, I suspect that it's a problem with the JavaScript interpreter/app implementation in the browser. Or, it could be latency from a slow connection.

I'm using IE6.0 on a T1 connection from work.

Not sure if something changed, but it's not skipping for me anymore.
