How do I install a "countdown clock" w/o ads on my site using FP?

I would like to install a countdown clock to a certain deadline day on my web
site using Front Page but would like to avoid freeware with ads, etc. Is
there a source for the code for this?

Here is a script for a very simple timer:

Copy and paste this script in between the <body> paste here </body>
tags where you want it to appear on your page...

The date on this timer is set for 12:00 noon, one year from today:
09/13/2008

(start copy here>>>>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

//Dynamic countdown Script II- © Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com)
//Support for hour minutes and seconds added by Chuck Winrich

yr=theyear;mo=themonth;da=theday;hr=thehour;min=themin;sec=thesec
}

//////////CONFIGURE THE COUNTDOWN SCRIPT HERE//////////////////

//STEP 1: Configure the countdown-to date, in the format year, month,
day, hour(0=midnight,23=11pm), minutes, seconds:
setcountdown(2008,09,13,12,00,00)

//STEP 2: Change the two text below to reflect the occasion, and
message to display on that occasion, respectively
var occasion="<b>THE TEXT YOU WANT TO DISPLAY GOES HERE</b>"
var message_on_occasion="THE TEXT TO DISPLAY UPON REACHING THE END
GOES HERE"

//STEP 3: Configure the below 5 variables to set the width, height,
background color, and text style of the countdown area
var countdownwidth='400px'
var countdownheight='35px'
var countdownbgcolor='silver'
var opentags='<font face="Arial"><small>'
var closetags='</small></font>'

Here's a simple one (only 56 lines of code) that was written for the US
election date. I changed it to the Australian election date - next Saturday

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Set Specific Date and Time
var myDate = new Date()
myDate.setFullYear(2007,10, 24) // 24th November 2007
myDate.setHours(0,0,0,0) // midnight
/*** Do Not Alter rest of code ***/
function CountDown()
{
var timerID
var seconds = 1000
var minutes = seconds * 60
var hours = minutes * 60
var days = hours * 24
var years = days * 365
// Get the Current Date and Time
var now = new Date()
// Find milliseconds in each date
var nowms = Date.parse(now)
var myDatems = Date.parse(myDate)
// Find difference and set a temporary variable
var diff = myDatems - nowms
var x = diff
// Calculate days left and reduce difference
var daysleft = Math.floor(x / days)
x -= daysleft*days
// Calculate hours left and reduce difference
var hoursleft = Math.floor(x / hours )
x -= hoursleft*hours
// Calculate minutes left and reduce difference
var minsleft = Math.floor(x / minutes )
x -= minsleft*minutes
// Calculate seconds left
var secsleft = Math.floor(x / seconds )
// Display results in text boxes
document.getElementById("clock1").value = daysleft
document.getElementById("clock2").value = hoursleft
document.getElementById("clock3").value = minsleft
document.getElementById("clock4").value = secsleft
// Redo if time left to the specific date
if(diff > 0)
timerID = setTimeout("CountDown()", 100)
}
window.setTimeout('CountDown()',100);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<b>Election date: <script
type="text/javascript">document.write(myDate.toLocaleDateString())</script><br
/>
Count Down: </b>
<input type="text" id="clock1" size="2" value=""> days
<input type="text" id="clock2" size="2" value=""> hours
<input type="text" id="clock3" size="2" value=""> minutes
