Call it like so: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="includes/countdown.js"></script> <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer ICGLink, Inc.

Here's a part of my cf code: <cfset today = Now()> <cfwddx action="cfml2js" input="#today#" output="jsVar" toplevelvariable="today"> I then pass the jsvar to my javascript. But all that does is display the time-remaining, not the running countdown.
