Does anyone know how to make a ticker, countdown, whatever, in html, or something i can put on a web site?

thanks

(NW told me that this site used to have a ticker for BB: ROTJ. That's the type of thing I am looking for. Thanks)

You want a ticker/counter, so you are probably trying to count the number of people who visit your page or something like that, right? Well, HTML really can't do that kind of stuff. You probably want to find JavaScript code, its really good for that kind of thing. I don't know javascript that well though, but I'm sure you can find a code for what you're trying to do somewhere on the web.

Try going to www.htmlgoodies.com -- if they don't have it, you probably don't need it :).

I want something that will countdown to a certain day.

I remember putting something like that on my old website once. Unfortunately, I don't remember the code, but I found it here:The Javascript Source (http://javascript.internet.com)

EDIT: You mean something like this? (http://javascript.internet.com/clocks/till-date.html)
