Instant plug-in scripts that help you profit... "Special offer expiry date with
a twist" by Michel Komarov
How would you like to add an irresistible sense of urgency to any of your online
offers... instantly?
I thought so!
What I've go for you here is the perfect answer in the form of a special piece
of JavaScript you can just copy and paste into your sa'les page.
So what does it do exactly?
It creates an active deadline date counting down the days until your offer
expires.
So where's the twist?
What's extra special about this unique code is as soon as the offer is over the
HTML code you placed inside this script will no longer be seen on your website.
For example inside the HTML code could be an order button giving your visitors
the chance to order at a discount.
As soon as the special offer date has been reached the discount order button
just disappears!
I think this is much more honest way of working than just adding an advance
special offer expiry date that's never reached.
Here's how it all works...
Place the HTML code into the source code of your web page anywhere between the
<body> and </body> tags. The position you choose is where your
special offer will appear:
<script language="JavaScript"><!-- // Script created by
http://icoder.com // Subscribe to freescripts@icoder.com for this //
and many other essential web site scripts.
var expiry = new Date(2004,0,1);
// (2004,0,1) = (year, month, day) // months: 0 = Jan, 1 = Feb, 2 = Mar, 3 =
Apr, // 4 = May, 5 = Jun, 6 = Jul, 7 = Aug, 8 = Sep, // 9 = Oct, 10 = Nov, 11 =
Dec
var today = new Date(); var expiryDays = parseInt((expiry-today)/86400000); var
expiryDate = expiry.toDateString(); if (expiry > today) document.write(
'<!-- Place your special offer HTML-code here -->'+ '
'+ 'Your special offer HTML-code.
'+ 'You can use:'+ 'still '+ expiryDays +' days
'+ 'or... till '+ expiryDate +'
'+ '
'+ '<!-- End of the special offer HTML-code -->'
); --> </script>
Set the expiry date you need at string:
var expiry = new Date(2004,0,1);
Note. See the comment below this string. Month's numbers begin from 0.
You need to place your special offer HTML-code between string
'<!-- Place your special offer HTML-code here -->'+
and
'<!-- End of the special offer HTML-code -->'
Then you should quote each your HTML-code line with single quoting symbol (')
and add the plus symbol (+) at the end of each line.
Please note: You shouldn't use single quoting symbol inside your HTML-code.
(Use double quoting symbol inside your HTML-code instead.)
You can also place the expiry date inside your special offer.
Use the expiryDate variable. Or you can place the number of days till the offer
expire, just use the expiryDays variable.
That's all there is to it, if you follow this link:

how it should look when you've installed it on your web page.
