Countdown in sig line

[MT_Pitcher]

Some of the people from the North Carolina Litogether were inquiring about putting an automatic countdown in their sig line.
I found the code for one here...

Is it possible to do this?
Or is there another way?

AFAIK...the answer is NO. The board has DISABLED HTML in posts and signatures, which means also no CSS or SCRIPT elements.

Since it's a Java Script (or ANY kind of script), it poses a security threat to the board.

If you could find a site that uses a script to generate a GIF image (like the "What's Playing on My Winamp" or "Your IP Address Is..." ones), you could probably put that generated image in your sig using the IMG vBCode.

Edit: I just found out that the word Java Script (as it should be spelled, is blocked)

Actually HTML is enabled in signature lines -- at least some HTML is enabled in signature lines because that's how people are linking attachments to their signatures.

I don't know if java-script can be used in signatures but pure HTML can and is used in signatures all the time.

The problem with using HTML (or scripting) for something like this is that the signature is a table entry and the sample script linked requires portions to be outside of the ******></body> statments for a complete webpage.

If this can be done, it needs something that can be implemented inside an HTML table structure.

Ah! I didn't know about HTML in sigs (never set up mine ). I figured they were using vBCode.

We'd probably need to know if SCRIPT, FORM, and INPUT are allowed...but I'm guessing they're not for security reasons.
