Countdown Widget Won’t Work! Help!
-
Hey guys,
Trying to put a countdown widget in a text widget on my sidebar. I got it off of a site that gave me the exact code for a wordpress blog. It will not work whatsoever. Nothing comes up after I save the code in there. This is the link to the site that has the countdown widget I want:http://www.sho.com/site/lword/downloads.do
(choose top widget- get widget-select wordpress)
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!
My blog address:
http://chroniclesofconception.wordpress.comThis was the code I typed into the text widget:
<object classid=”clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000″ codebase=”http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”148px” height=”298px” id=”InsertWidget_b4b8241a-9b5c-4a2b-9983-21ad542e62be” align=”middle”>

The code you were given said “wordpress”. It did not say “wordpress.com”. This code will probably only work on a wordpress.org. We cannot use javascript on wordpress.com blogs http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/07/javascript-can-i-use-that-on-my-blog/
An EVENT countdown ticker that you can use can be got from http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/ticker_designer.php?type=4
Be sure you get the code for the one that says this:
HTML:
(on MySpace, MSN, Web pages, Blogs…) -
This is shockwave flash based and we are not allowed to use flash, javascript, forms or iframes here at wordpress.com due to security concerns.

OOPS! I forgot a link. This code is for shockwave flash and we cannot have that on our blogs here either http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/10/23/can-i-add-flash-video-embed-other-media/

I believe the Ticker Factory will give HTML based countdown tickers.

Yes that’s true so I included this in my first post above:
