Simple jQuery Countdown

Simple Day Countdown Script

This is a very simple script for counting down the days until something happens. It's quick and dirty and you don't need to include a big complex library with its own configuration. It doesn't handle timezones well, but you probably don't need it to ;)

{% raw %} Days Left {% endraw %}

Note: this requires jQuery

$(function() {
  var date = new Date(Date.parse("Apr 1, 2030"));
  var now = new Date();
  var diff = date.getTime() / 1000 - now.getTime() / 1000;
  var daysDiff = Math.floor(diff / 86400);

  $(".coundown-timer").text(daysDiff);
});

<script>
    $(function() {
    var date  = new Date(Date.parse('Apr 1, 2030'));
    var now   = new Date();
    var diff  = date.getTime()/1000 - now.getTime()/1000;
    var daysDiff = Math.floor(diff/86400);

    $('.coundown-timer').text(daysDiff);
    });
</script>
