A simple countdown counter/timer, which echoes the time left in days, hours, minutes and seconds.
Counter is used on web pages running in Joomla! CMS. Countdown script that count down to absolute events, by using server's time to derive the local time. Counter will be placed inside Joomla content item. Content items are created with Joomla standard TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor and the ideal solution would be so that one could place the counter among rest of the content just by pressing a button from TinyMCE's toolbar. The time which the counter counts down should be taken from the TinyMCE's edit window's PUBLISHING INFO settings, from the FINISH PUBLISHING setting.
Here is a web page for a JavaScript counter.

It's otherwise perfect; it just needs the “upgrading” with Joomla! features…
