YMHMS script i'm afraid. I just couldn't get days to work, because of this:
To get years we divide days by 365
To get months we divide years by 12 and take off the amount of months already stated for in the years, easy enough
But to get days in this context, we need to take the months and years already stated in the previous two... and its too late at night for me to handle this! (edit: by the way, I'm in GMT. It's not really 8:00 PM.)
Still, here's the YMHMS script.
Code:
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
//Dynamic countup Script- © Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com)
//For full source code, 100's more DHTML scripts, and TOS,

function setcountup(theyear,themonth,theday){
yr=theyear;mo=themonth;da=theday
}
//////////CONFIGURE THE countup SCRIPT HERE//////////////////
//STEP 1: Configure the date to count up from, in the format year, month, day:
//This date should be less than today
setcountup(1999,3,2)
//STEP 2: Configure text to be attached to count up
var displaymessage="have passed since the debut of our site!"
//STEP 3: Configure the below 5 variables to set the width, height, background color, and text style of the countup area
var countupwidth='95%'
var countupheight='20px' //applicable only in NS4
var countupbgcolor='lightyellow'
var opentags='<font face="Verdana"><small>'
var closetags='</small></font>'
//////////DO NOT EDIT PASS THIS LINE//////////////////

If you'll excuse me, I have to collapse now.
