Youve got the time you need in the database so you can get the difference of now and that time then use that as your count down value in js

I am working on a forum application. There is a fixed time to respond to each posting. I want the user responding to a posting to get an alert, even if he is typing at the last minute, saying: "Sorry, this posting has reached its expiration time, you are being taken to the home page now." There's a db field that holds the expiration time for each posting. That's what we will compare the current time to. Or maybe start a timer as soon as the user comes to the page, and display an alert at the end of the timer. Any ideas how to do this in CF? Code examples will help.
