Read the fucking instructions in the script. :roll:

And if you can't even do a bit of basic HTML editing/tweaking/copying/pasting, then what hope do you have of making a website? :?

Isn't there supposed to be one more word on the end of that instruction, if the original blooper tape is to be believed?

I do hope he/she/it doesn't try to put it in using one of the WYSIWYG type programs because that'll guarantee it'll NEVER work again.

Just tried what it said to do and it wouldn't work. It just came up with the code itself. What am I doing wrong?

If it's displaying the javascript itself, that's usually because you're either using some obscure years out of date browser, something that doesn't like javascript full stop, Javascript is switched off in your browser or you've done something major wrong.

Anyway, the script is missing comment brackets which usually means the browser is trying to interpret them as HTML and putting them out to the browser window.

Put them before and after the script tags as follows:

Code: Select all

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
<!--

/*
Dynamic countdown Script- © Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com)
For full source code, 100's more DHTML scripts, and TOS,
visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com
*/

Replace this text with the rest of the javascript code down to but not including </script>
-->

</script>

<ilayer id="countdownnsmain" width=&{countdownwidth}; height=&{countdownheight}; bgColor=&{countdownbgcolor}; visibility=hide><layer id="countdownnssub" width=&{countdownwidth}; height=&{countdownheight}; left=0 top=0></layer></ilayer>
This'll stop the javascript being parsed as HTML if nothing else.

Does that get an award for the most ambiguous statement written on here in a very long time? Though the meaning is clear from the context, it still amused me... Having said that, most things do...
