Count down begins for Gnu Linux habba 2009

I have created a JavaScript widget for days countdown. You can use this in your websites.

Preview (Below image is preview only)

How to use?

Create a DIV container in your webpage, Include the below script inside that container. You can apply positioning styles to that container.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://aravinda-vk.appspot.com/js/countdown.js">
</script>
<!-- or design2 -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://aravinda-vk.appspot.com/js/countdown-design2.js">
</script>

Example

<div style="float:right;margin-right:10px;">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://aravinda-vk.appspot.com/js/countdown.js">
</script>
</div>

How it works

Javascript will fetch the current date in IST based on your system time and calculates the number of days left for the event. Seperate images created with the name of number of days remaining(Like 12.png, 11.png, 0.png)

Image source will be dynamically generated based on the number of days remaining.

/* File Name: countdown.js
 * This script will display the image based on the number of days left
 */
// Hosted at
var basePath = "http://aravinda-vk.appspot.com/";

// get todays date and convert to IST
var today = new Date();
// +5.5hrs = 330 mins
today.setTime(today.getTime() +  (today.getTimezoneOffset()+330)*60*1000);

// get Event date and convert to IST
var eventDate = new Date("February 07, 2009");
eventDate.setTime(eventDate.getTime() +  (eventDate.getTimezoneOffset()+330)*60*1000);  //+5.5hrs = 330 mins
var miliSecsPerDay = 86400000;  //24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 ;

// Calculate days left
var numDaysRemaining = Math.floor((eventDate.getTime() - today.getTime())/miliSecsPerDay) + 1;

// Display If event is not over
if(numDaysRemaining >= 0){
    imgSrcString = '<img src="' + basePath + 'img/' + numDaysRemaining + '.png" ';
    imgSrcString = imgSrcString + ' alt="Gnu/Linux Habba in ' + numDaysRemaining + ' days" ';
    imgSrcString = imgSrcString + ' title="Gnu/Linux Habba in ' + numDaysRemaining + ' days" ';
    imgSrcString = imgSrcString + ' style="border:0px;" />';
    document.write('<a href="http://habba.in">' + imgSrcString + '</a>');
}
