countdown timer issue Options

[Meto2k]

Hi all,

I am building my own website ( very beginner so allready sorry ) but I encountered a problem with a ready to use time counter.

the code is as follow

<div class="date_countdown">
<div id="timer">
<div id="days" class="date"></div>
<div id="hours" class="date"></div>
<div id="minutes" class="date"></div>
<div id="seconds" class="date"></div>
</div>

it shows
DAYS
-413
HOURS
11
MINUTES
43
SECONDS
51

and it is still counting down... My question here is how can I edit the time? whatever I try didnt work

According to https://github.com/sonnyt/downCount it seems you need to change the null values here:

CODE

$.fn.downCount = function (options, callback) {
var settings = $.extend({
date: null,
offset: null
}, options);

to (for example) this:

CODE

$('.countdown').downCount({
    date: '08/27/2013 12:00:00',
    offset: -5
}, function () {
    alert('WOOT WOOT, done!');
});

EDIT: or am I looking at the same script? Not familiar with Github's layout.

=D thank you for the fast replies ! but the counter is not changing... still the same countdown as in the picture. I tried all available options but I think there may be a malfuntion somewhere.

still the same countdown as in the picture.

The picture looks like if the target date expired 413 days ago. Have you set a target date, and is it correct?

In any case there should be plenty of other countdown timers on the web that you could use instead.
