Site Debut Live Count Up in days,hours, minutes,and seconds of how long your site has been up and running ~ Tested in IE6.0, Netscape8.1, Opera9.0, Firefox1.5.0.4 and AOL Explorer1.2

T his is a very cool and rare script that counts in real time how long your site has been up and running from the day of it's debut. It can also be used to count up from any given date you choose to input into the script.

We have tested the code in IE6.0, Firefox1.5.0.4, Opera9.0, Netscape8.1 and AOL Explorer1.2. This script worked well in all platforms with no variations observed.

D epending on your knowledge of HTML and java scripts, this is an easy one step copy and paste code, that you paste anywhere within the <BODY> section you want this effect to appear. Below we shall show you where and how to make the few reconfigurations within the script to make it work and be cosmetic with your site. If you notice the effect above, this has been reconfigured already.

Default Section Of Code

//////////CONFIGURE THE countup SCRIPT HERE//////////////////

//STEP 1: Configure the date to count up from, in the format year, month, day:
//This date should be less than today
setcountup(1999,3,2)

//STEP 2: Configure text to be attached to count up
var displaymessage="have passed since the debut of our site!"

//STEP 3: Configure the below 5 variables to set the width, height, background color, and text style of the countup area
var countupwidth='95%'
var countupheight='20px' //applicable only in NS4
var countupbgcolor='lightyellow'
var opentags=''
var closetags=''

//////////DO NOT EDIT PASS THIS LINE//////////////////

Reconfigured Section Of Code

//////////CONFIGURE THE countup SCRIPT HERE//////////////////

//STEP 1: Configure the date to count up from, in the format year, month, day:
//This date should be less than today

//STEP 2: Configure text to be attached to count up
var displaymessage=" Since The Debut Of Our Site!"

//STEP 3: Configure the below 5 variables to set the width, height, background color,
and text style of the countup area

var closetags=''

//////////DO NOT EDIT PASS THIS LINE//////////////////

Note On Above Three Font Styles!

A s you can notice in our reconfiguration we added three different font styles as opposed to the default of only one style. Reason being is correct HTML coding dictates the use of three different styles because if the pc viewing the first style does not have it, it will automatically select the second style listed. Having only one style can cause he page to load slower because the system needs to select a font style from its own font files.

T here are a few tags and characters in this script that also need to be explained in conjunction to positioning and font within the script.

//STEP 2: Configure text to be attached to count up
var displaymessage=" 
I f you notice this tag is not in the default but has been added to the reconfigurations. All this does is offset the text instead of having it on the same line as the counter it breaks it to the next line. This is a personal preference, if you want this tag or not.

Since The Debut Of Our Site!"

If you notice here the use of the single apostrophy ' is used inside the font color tag. The reason being is that the whole script makes use of both the ' and the " characters. If you are going to change the font color within the script in this section for the message you need to do it as in the above example.
If not you will get an error of Error: Invalid character

Verdana
Here is an example of this tag used within the default script to make the font smaller without going to another font size. You can either keep it or remove these tags.

This script makes use of the body onload event or in this case window onload event. If you have more than one effect on your page with this event you may find that one or neither effect will work. If you follow the below link, it will explain how to make all your effects work with this onload event.
