<script type="text/javascript">

function cdtime(container, targetdate){
if (!document.getElementById || !document.getElementById(container)) return
this.container=document.getElementById(container)
this.currentTime=new Date()
this.targetdate=new Date(targetdate)
this.timesup=false
this.updateTime()
}

cdtime.prototype.updateTime=function(){
var thisobj=this

setTimeout(function(){thisobj.updateTime()}, 1000) //update time every second
}

this.showresults()
}

if (timediff<0){ //if time is up

this.container.innerHTML=this.formatresults()
return
}
var oneMinute=60 //minute unit in seconds
var oneHour=60*60 //hour unit in seconds

}

/////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=""
}
return displaystring
}

function formatresults2(){
if (this.timesup==false){ //if target date/time not yet met
var displaystring="<span class='lcdstyle'>"+arguments[0]+" ^days "+arguments[1]+" ^hours "+arguments[2]+" ^minutes "+arguments[3]+" ^seconds</span> "
}
else{ //else if target date/time met
var displaystring="" //Don't display any text
alert("HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!") //Instead, perform a custom alert
}
return displaystring
}
