Countdown Script help

**epaisley** · Aug 19, 2003 10:39

I'm working on modifying a countdown script that i have downloaded.

Using Coldfusion, I pull a date from a database and add 3 minutes to it. The script is supposed to count down 3 minutes and stop. For some reason when the starttime in the script and the endtime in the script are different days, the countdown works, when they are the same day it doesn't display. Any ideas for a fix? I haven't done alot with javascript so i'm sure this is pretty basic, but I just can't seem to crack it.

Thanks for your help.

Well I messed with the script a little bit and got the values to work. It loads the 3 min mark but then won't "countdown". Any ideas on why it won't countdown?

Thanks in advance

Code:

<cfif isDefined("Draft")>
 <cfquery name="SetValue" datasource="">
  Update ffl_prop
   set Propvalue = '#Dateformat(now(),"mm/dd/yyyy")# #Timeformat(now(),"HH:mm:ss")#'
  Where
   PropName = 'StartDraftTime' and leagueid = 5
 </cfquery>
</cfif>

<cfquery name="GetDraftTime" datasource="">
 Select *
 from ffl_prop
 where leagueid = 5
</cfquery>
<!--- <cfdump var="#GetDraftTime#"> --->

<head>

<cfset minval = minute(GetDraftTime.propvalue)>
<cfset HourVal = Hour(GetDraftTime.propvalue)>
<cfset SecVal = Second(GetDraftTime.propvalue)> 
<cfset NewDateVal = DateAdd('n',3,GetDraftTime.propvalue)>
