Now, Nukeum, time for you to earn another case of Pepsi... how do I set up a countdown block using javascript without the error "There isn't content right now for this block. "?

I saved this javascript as block-Brady.php:

Code:




<p align="center">


<script language=JavaScript>


<!-- //


      today = new Date();


      BigDay = new Date("November 30, 2004")


      msPerDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 ;


      timeLeft = (BigDay.getTime() - today.getTime());


      e_daysLeft = timeLeft / msPerDay;


      daysLeft = Math.floor(e_daysLeft);


      e_hrsLeft = (e_daysLeft - daysLeft)*24;


      hrsLeft = Math.floor(e_hrsLeft);


      e_minLeft = (e_hrsLeft - hrsLeft)*60;


      minsLeft = Math.floor((e_hrsLeft - hrsLeft)*60);


      secLeft = Math.floor((e_minLeft - minsLeft)*60);


      document.write (" <b> "+daysLeft+" Days, "+hrsLeft+" Hours,<br> "+minsLeft+" Minutes and "+secLeft+" Seconds</b>" );


      // -- --> 


</script><br>Til Sergeant John Brady of California<br>1/23 Infantry<br>Stryker Brigade Combat Team<br>U.S. Army<br>returns from Iraq</p>


<br>

and it works fine except for that pesky error 'There isn't content...' That IS the content! What to do?

Save this as block-Brady.php Place in blocks directory

Code:

<?php


if (eregi("block-Brady.php",$_SERVER[PHP_SELF])) {


    Header("Location: index.php");


    die();


}


$content.="<center><script language=\"JavaScript\"src=\"includes/brady.php\"></script></center></b>";


$content.="<center><br>Til Sergeant John Brady of California<br>1/23 Infantry<br>";


$content.="Stryker Brigade Combat Team<br>U.S. Army<br>returns from Iraq</center>";


?>

Save this as brady.php place it in your includes directory Just as it is

Code:

<!-- //


      today = new Date();


      BigDay = new Date("November 30, 2004")


      msPerDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 ;


      timeLeft = (BigDay.getTime() - today.getTime());


      e_daysLeft = timeLeft / msPerDay;


      daysLeft = Math.floor(e_daysLeft);


      e_hrsLeft = (e_daysLeft - daysLeft)*24;


      hrsLeft = Math.floor(e_hrsLeft);


      e_minLeft = (e_hrsLeft - hrsLeft)*60;


      minsLeft = Math.floor((e_hrsLeft - hrsLeft)*60);


      secLeft = Math.floor((e_minLeft - minsLeft)*60);


      document.write (" <b> "+daysLeft+" Days, "+hrsLeft+" Hours,<br> "+minsLeft+" Minutes and "+secLeft+" Seconds</b>" );


      // -- -->

That's a thought, I dunno if I can walk into FedEx with three cases of Pepsi to ship.
There doesn't seem to be any teleportation facilities yet...but I said three cases and I'm a wolf of my word so let me think on the problem. Anyway this is better than kissing a ring and getting tarnish on my teeth. Smile
