Quick Instructions

The form above allows you to create a custom made countdown clock. You can count down to a particular date such as your next birthday, an upcoming wedding or the end of the world... Just fill in the details and click on the Generate Pop-up Code or Generate iFrame Code button. The HTML code will appear in the text box below the form, just copy and paste the text into your homepage and you are done.

Some community sites do not allow adding iframes or JavaScript, in those cases a link is the only solution. That can be done by using the Generate Raw URL button or the Generate W3C URL button (for a W3C compliant URL).

If you do not know what an option is for, it is easiest to just leave it on the default setting. You can also play around with the options and see what the result is in the preview window. For detailed instructions and explanations of all the options read the Countdown Clock Help Page.

If you wish to use another language check the overview of supported languages for instructions on how to add it.

The countdown clock uses JavaScript. Hence it will run on the vast majority of present day browsers without any special effort by the visitor (no plugins, no Flash, no Java).

Countdown Clock "Search" Plugin

Users of Firefox and IE 7 can install the "search" plugin to count down to any date of their choice directly from the search bar. This works in the same way as a Google search from the search bar except that you must enter a date.

Countdown (OpenSearch) - Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 7
Countdown (Sherlock) - Firefox, all versions.

If you are having trouble installing this plugin, try using Firefox.

Problems or Questions?

If, after reading the help page, you still have problems or questions, please visit the Countdown Clock Forum on Google Groups.

There are many browsers and platforms, things do not work the same way for all. I have done my best to make it as compatible as possible but if you still find problems or errors please report them to me.
