new year count-down widget2012 is near and I am sure everyone of you is awaiting this moment eagerly. I have modified the countdown widget for Christmas a little to set it for new year. This widget can easily be added to both blogspot or wordpress. Simply copy the code and paste it in your templates. The moment new year starts, the widget will prompt an alert message saying: "Happy New year Everybody!" sharp at 12.00 a.m. The clock disappears the moment new year arrives and prompts the alert message. The clock has military standard format with hours, minutes and ticking seconds. This widget is created using a simple script with no flash. For flash clocks kindly check the Flash clocks collection. Lets add it to blogger.


Live Demo
The widget colors and styles can be completely changed using our Editor before adding it in blogger.
Tip: Paste the entire code given in step#4 inside the HTML editor.


Test and redesign it yourself!

/////CUSTOM FORMAT OUTPUT FUNCTIONS BELOW//////////////////////////////

//Create your own custom format function to pass into cdtime.displaycountdown()

//Use arguments[0] to access "Days" left

//Use arguments[1] to access "Hours" left

//Use arguments[2] to access "Minutes" left

//Use arguments[3] to access "Seconds" left

//The values of these arguments may change depending on the "baseunit" parameter of cdtime.displaycountdown()

//For example, if "baseunit" is set to "hours", arguments[0] becomes meaningless and contains "n/a"

//For example, if "baseunit" is set to "minutes", arguments[0] and arguments[1] become meaningless etc



function formatresults(){

if (this.timesup==false){//if target date/time not yet met

var
displaystring=arguments[0]+" days "+arguments[1]+" hours
"+arguments[2]+" minutes "+arguments[3]+" seconds left until December
25, 2011 18:25:00"

}

else{ //else if target date/time met

var displaystring=""

}
