Site going live in ....

[Dr_Who]

I have a web site going live in May and I am using the timer widget in XWD to show the countdown.

I know I can't do anything in the widget but it there a way to have the page the widget is on have a timer too so that the first page of the new web site is displayed when the time comes ?
I remember seeing a javascript somewhere back in win 98 days that could do that, wondered if XWD has such a thing.

Ha, ha! Steve had used my favorite answer.
Though I may try to help you if you explain what exactly do you want more precisely. With example.

LOL Steve being quick and to the point.

HOWEVER I think I did and gone and done it.

Late last night before nursy tucked my up in bed I trawled the internet webby and found the long lost javascipt code I was looking for ," <script language="JavaScript">
TargetDate = "12/31/2020 5:00 AM";
BackColor = "palegreen";
ForeColor = "navy";
CountActive = true;
CountStepper = -1;
LeadingZero = true;
DisplayFormat = "%%D%% Days, %%H%% Hours, %%M%% Minutes, %%S%% Seconds.";
FinishMessage = "It is finally here!";
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://scripts.hashemian.com/js/countdown.js"></(added this bit incase posting caused it to function,remove this sentence between brackets)script>"

I made a placeholder and pasted it into the html box and it worked ! well in preview anyway.
Then (yes theres more) I added another piece of code that redirects you to a new page when the countdown clock ends.
"<script defer="true" language="JavaScript">
RedirYet();
function RedirYet() {
if (document.getElementById("cntdwn").innerHTML=="Don e!")
location.href="http://www.google.com/";
setTimeout(RedirYet, 250);
}
</(added this bit incase posting caused it to function,remove this sentence between brackets)script>

It was getting late and time for my Meds so I did not publish anything...sooooo Mr Sledger may still be right

WD still doesn't have such a thing, but as you have shown, you can implement the action and result you're looking for using (drum roll).... *Placeholders* - tada!

And thanks for seeing my answer as intended, ie; with good humour
