Countdown

The Maine Democratic Party website now has a handy counter ticking off the seconds until end of business on May 13th, when Republicans will either submit an alternative plan for the budget or prove that their veto campaign has just been a cynical attempt to gain political advantage.

The counter on that site is in flash and is a bit unwieldy (and is squished in firefox), but it's easy enough to make your own. See the top of the page for an example of one that uses javascript.

To put a countdown on your own website, just copy this code:
<a href="http://www.mainedems.org/"><script language="JavaScript"> TargetDate = "05/13/2005 5:00 PM"; BackColor = "white"; ForeColor = "red"; </script><script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.hashemian.com/js/countdown.js"></script></a>
