Yoyoyo, as Halo 3's approaching, I thought it may be a good idea to get a countdown timer in my sig, but I'm having a little trouble, and some of you guys might help me.

Basically, atm I'm using Javascript to do the timer, but as you can't use javascript in your signature, it's useless. So perhaps a php script may work, but I have no idea on how to do it as I'm a noob when it comes to coding.

Right, here's where I'm at;

I've got the timer working, but what I want is a single image of the timer to be displayed, and without it actually ticking down so I can use it for a sig. Just like this image below:

As you can see, every time you refresh the page, the timer changes, I want this exact code pretty much, but with my design (as you can see, I've based it on the "finish the fight" style). Example below:

Found in the extension is the images plus the coding, Pico's already helped me a little, and now I need more. If no one knows how, I guess it'd have to be scrapped. But I hope some of your brains can help me a little to do this thing.

Argh, just noticed some sucky things with the coding too, it skips the 7's and it shows 60 sometimes in the seconds section (not always) when the minute ticks over.

This is useless.

Erm how do they do this countdown then? It looks good, I want one! All I know is it's a flash one

Using flash to do it isn't hard, I would have done the same, but I don't have flash installed atm. But still, it can't be used as a signature as flash isn't allowed either.

Mine looks better too, who ever did that is poor at tech, and the number graphics suck too.

Our projects? For this one you've done ---- all input wise and you've been no help. lol (but you did say "omg, that looks exactly like the style" when I showed you the rough thing)

But yeah, failure is usually 90% outcome.
