What is the best solution for a dynamic signature.
I want a countdown to a certain date.

This is what i tried to put in my signature, but the digits remain on a 0.

<!-- Begin
//Created by DendE PhisH
function getTime() {
c1 = new Image(); c1.src = "1c.gif";
c2 = new Image(); c2.src = "2c.gif";
c3 = new Image(); c3.src = "3c.gif";
c4 = new Image(); c4.src = "4c.gif";
c5 = new Image(); c5.src = "5c.gif";
c6 = new Image(); c6.src = "6c.gif";
c7 = new Image(); c7.src = "7c.gif";
c8 = new Image(); c8.src = "8c.gif";
c9 = new Image(); c9.src = "9c.gif";
c0 = new Image(); c0.src = "0c.gif";
Cc = new Image(); Cc.src = "Cc.gif";
now = new Date();

//ENTER BELOW THE DATE YOU WISH TO COUNTDOWN TO
later = new Date("Jan 1 2005 0:00:01");

days = (later - now) / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24;
daysRound = Math.floor(days);
hours = (later - now) / 1000 / 60 / 60 - (24 * daysRound);
hoursRound = Math.floor(hours);
minutes = (later - now) / 1000 /60 - (24 * 60 * daysRound) - (60 * hoursRound);
minutesRound = Math.floor(minutes);
seconds = (later - now) / 1000 - (24 * 60 * 60 * daysRound) - (60 * 60 * hoursRound) - (60 * minutesRound);
secondsRound = Math.round(seconds);

if (secondsRound <= 9) {
document.images.g.src = c0.src;
document.images.h.src = eval("c"+secondsRound+".src");
}
else {
document.images.g.src = eval("c"+Math.floor(secondsRound/10)+".src");
document.images.h.src = eval("c"+(secondsRound%10)+".src");
}
if (minutesRound <= 9) {
document.images.d.src = c0.src;
document.images.e.src = eval("c"+minutesRound+".src");
}
else {
document.images.d.src = eval("c"+Math.floor(minutesRound/10)+".src");
document.images.e.src = eval("c"+(minutesRound%10)+".src");
}
if (hoursRound <= 9) {
document.images.y.src = c0.src;
document.images.z.src = eval("c"+hoursRound+".src");
}
else {
document.images.y.src = eval("c"+Math.floor(hoursRound/10)+".src");
document.images.z.src = eval("c"+(hoursRound%10)+".src");
}
if (daysRound <= 9) {
document.images.x.src = c0.src;
document.images.a.src = c0.src;
document.images.b.src = eval("c"+daysRound+".src");
}
if (daysRound <= 99) {
document.images.x.src = c0.src;
document.images.a.src = eval("c"+Math.floor((daysRound/10)%10)+".src");
document.images.b.src = eval("c"+Math.floor(daysRound%10)+".src");
}
if (daysRound <= 999){
document.images.x.src = eval("c"+Math.floor(daysRound/100)+".src");
document.images.a.src = eval("c"+Math.floor((daysRound/10)%10)+".src");
document.images.b.src = eval("c"+Math.floor(daysRound%10)+".src");
}
newtime = window.setTimeout("getTime();", 1000);
}
// End -->
</script>

Becuase any input from a user, like JavaScript, HTML, VBScript, etc. cane be used to lanch malicious code that can do things like, crash computers/browsers, hang nrowsers/ redirect to other sites, get sesitive details from users, etc. all these things are not alowed in posts or signatures.

Your best way to make a dynamic signature is either a moving gif file, or, if enabled from the admin area, a flash file.

Thanks Borg, i did not realise the things that could happen if those options were "open".

I will think about the flash file.
