Price-CountDown-Script --- Must be accurate to the cents & also display nanocents

[Dot-Kamikaze]

I want a script which would steadily lower a price to a specific-amount, at a Precise-Actual-Date (Not defined by the Surfer's Date-and-Time)

Ideally, it would EDIT the HTML-Page, to adjust the price of each PayPal-link (probably this part of the HTML: <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="7.49">). (I could suggest to the surfer, that the page can be reloaded for the most up-to-date "Pay Now"/"Buy Now" - PayPal-Link.)

However, I actually wouldn't mind using any crude, simple-script for counting-down-anything - To a precise-amount, at a Precise-Actual-Date - And then simply have the surfer enter the PayPal-amount.

The option to display a custom number of decimals less than a cent is critically-important, as staring at a countdown that's slower than a minute is simply not engaging.

I searched for a simple, precise, countdown-anything-script, for over an hour, but I only found tons of crude-indexes of time-counting-scripts.

I don't know how to program, but I understand that this would all be easy-to-program. I'd be willing to spend as much as $50 for a script that does everything I described.

I am sure it can be done. The hard part would be integrating with the paypal buttons. Would the paypal button not be active until it has reached it's lowest point? Or would the user be able to click the button at any time and pay that price or the lowest price?

It would take me a few days but I *might* be able to whip out something in Flash if you were interested.

The only other way I know of is to use JS and/or php both which would run off the server time as it were.

The idea is that the Surfer can pay at any-time --- like a "Reverse-Auction".

I think I might prefer JavaScript or PHP, which would be super-simple, yet super-accurate, and load almost-instantly.

But, if you could achieve this in flash, then you're welcome to try.

I imagined that someone might suggest a simple, free-script, without the Price-Modifying, and then I'd end up using that.

However, "the more I think about it", I guess I really should pay someone like you the $50 to integrate Price-Modifying --- As otherwise, each webpage with the script would feel too primitive & weak !

Okay. Find my email through my profile here and shoot me a reminder. I won't charge you for an example layout, but understand I do have other projects currently on going and some have already paid in full so those become priority. I will do what I can as soon as I can.

In the email explain as many details as you can, how many, types, pages layouts etc.

With luck I will be able to have the swf editable for you through XML and or FlashVars so you can change products and prices and dates as you need.

I Look forward to hearing from you

Well, if anyone knows of any sort of "CountDown-Anything" - script --- With adjustable-rate, and control over the number-of-decimals --- Then please post it in this thread!

Message received. Allow me time to digest it and start work as my free time permits. I will send a follow up email in a day or two to let you know where I stand. (Sooner if I have any further questions).
