Does anyone know of a java script that can do the following?
When I go off line, I want to set a time that I will be back online, so when people come to my site and want to talk to me via live chat, they know how much longer until I return.
It needs to be a count down script of hours and minutes. But the hard part is that I want to use images for the numbers.
I have found many, many scripts that count down with a test number, but none with a graphical numbers. I am not capable enough to write my own yet.
Thanks in advance.Sesran Site Solutions - Web Site Hosting & Design

This isn't something you're going to find ready-made, I don't think. I'd have to recommend that you learn JavaScript, or find someone willing to write the script for you.

Hi Sesran,
You might be able to achieve a countdown by using the built-in time functions. Essentially, you need to upload a new page every time you go offline with the new time you will be on. That number would then be checked against the user's time and the difference displayed in a textbox. Or,if you are intent on using images, you can pull the image source from an array, using each number as an index (hh:mm).
If you do not know enough javascript to start the task, find a script that shows the current time and try modifying it. When you run into problems post back here.
