Hi Paul,
Most of the free javascript sites have countdown scripts on them. Just
Google the phrase "free javascripts" and several sites will appear for you
to visit. (For example:
http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/cutindex1b.shtml is a typical page of
javascript countdowns)
Even though the scripts are free to download, own and use, many of their
authors have requested that they NOT be posted for public download without
the author's permission---which is why I did not post a couple in this
message.
*********************************
PS: You might remind the bride and groom to to think about security while
they are planning this event. Ask the couple's parents to check for things
like:
* Messages written on the bottom of the groom's shoes, like "Help" on the
left shoe and "Me!" on the right shoe---especially if the happy couple
plans to kneel during the ceremony. The groom probably won't be the one to
do this, so watch his friends.
* If you're renting the groom's suit, make sure that the pants have a
crotch sewn into them. Some rental-stores will allow crotchless pants to
be sent to the groom if the bribe paid by the Best-Man was more than the
price of the rental.
* Have someone guard the vehicle that will take the couple away from the
ceremony. Some socially-challenged people think it's funny to sabotage the
car so the couple can't leave. If the car is rented (like a limo) the
renter will be responsibile to pay the cost of repairs. This trick usually
backfires horribly on the prankster so it is better to simply have a guard
at the car rather than watch your entire wedding party chasing the
idiot(s) who damaged the car.
* Make sure that no one knows WHERE the couple will be staying on their
first night together...or the videos will be available on the internet
before dawn.
But of course, that is all off-topic from freeware...
