Topic: [code] Christmas Countdown Block

[Ken (OP)]

Got a coding issue with the "Christmas Countdown" block. This code has worked in years past, but not this time... It shows the text, but not the countdown clock.

Ant ideas on the code mix up?

<div align="center"><span id="cntdwn" style="background-color:palegreen; color:navy">Lets Count Down to Christmas 2017 Everyone!!!</span>&nbsp;

</div>
<div align="center"><span id="cntdwn" style="background-color:palegreen; color:navy"></span>

</div>
<script language="JavaScript">TargetDate = "12/25/2017 00:01 AM";
BackColor = "palegreen";
ForeColor = "navy";
CountActive = true;
CountStepper = -1;
LeadingZero = true;
DisplayFormat = "%%D%% Days, %%H%% Hours, %%M%% Minutes, %%S%% Seconds.";
FinishMessage = "Merry Christmas 2017 Everyone!!!";
</script>

I can only assume that there's a TP or SMF issue due to upgrades. I just checked and it does work here:

That worked! Thanks Steve!

So, the code was different, I guess?

[Ken (OP)]

Not really sure if it was different... I didn't compare the two, just made a new block using the code that you linked to.

I would have played with it myself but almost burn't my dinner I was making while searching and gave up for the moment. LOL

Sorry about your dinner.

Not sure why it would stop working tbh.  I try it out.

Edit: Tried it and it works fine on my test site. TP 1.3R and SMF 2.0.15

Thanks for checking the code Mick. 

Strange that it won't work here.
