Countdown clock with graphics

[lostsoulchetti]

Is there a way, in php, to include a graphic or use graphics in a countdown clock script. What I am trying to do is create a countdown clock for finals week to be displayed on my university's learning center website. What I have so far is just a line that says "90 days until Finals". I was able to change the background and text color, you can look at it here:

But it doesn't stand out. I'd like to either put it on a graphic (like use an image as the background) and format the text to be bigger and bolder so it stands out. Or make the output look like a digital clock or something, using images. Is this possible? Can anyone point me to a tutorial?

Thanks so much. :sen:

not php, use javascript

Use this with boxes floated right and give it a width and a height.

Then simply with javascript set document.getElementById('position1').className = 'num_2';

Simple idea and will use 1 image and the JavaScript you already have for the most part.
