Countdown Clock in PPT?

[dsritter]

MS XT / PPT 2003

I want to be able to display on a slide a countdown clock. This is NOT
a brief countdown for intermission sort of thing, I have found those
online. I want to countdown to a specific date and time in days,
hours, minutes and seconds.

I have found online some JavaScripts that do this on an HTML Web page
perfectly (e.g.: <http://www.hashemian.com/tools/javascript-
countdown.htm>, but can't figure out how to run them within a PPT
slide.

Any pointers or suggestions would be welcome.

TIA,

Doug

Discovered/developed a solution:

Used the LiveWeb add-in at: http://skp.mvps.org/liveweb.htm


Made up an HTML page with just the Countdown Script
http://www.hashemian.com/tools/javascript-countdown.htm

Then added to that page another JS to control the window size and some
CSS to get rid of the scrollbar and is seems to work great!

Wahoooo!
