Hey,

Cookie i like your HolidayCounter more than all other counters, because in Countdown Live when i want that the counter show me just hours its only showin me how many hours left "interday" so e.g.

It's now: 30. Dezember 2006 - 20:00:00
And i say to the counter:"Hey show me how many hours to new year...
So i set of course 31.Dezember 2006 - 00:00:00...
Now Countdown Live show me: "Only 4 hours remain..." Thats wrong buggy....
But ur countdown do the right and say:"28 h remain..."

So but only one thing for HolidayCounter.... After I restart my machine, and so restart messenger, ive to disable and reenable the script... it doesnt work for me after rebooting...

Cookie if this is what happens then it is wrong, 00:00:00 is the begining of the day.  This means in that example it really needs to show 4 hours and not 28 hours.

---

It does not do that.... Biller's example is wrong and it of course will also show "4 hours left".

What Biller probably means is Holiday Counter shows the total amount of time units (like any counter should do IMO), not only just the time units you have selected:

eg: if you have 5 days and 3 hours to go until an event, and you have only selected hours to be shown, all other counters will show "3 hours left" (which is obviously wrong). Holiday Counter will show "123 hours left" (which is correct).

doesn't have anything todo with 24 or 12-hour systems. (in a 12-hour system 00:00 doesn't even exist). When you programmatically calculate time you always use a 24-hour system.

correct... was a stupid, but big, bug. It was a leftover from a test version of the script. I'll release the update, which includes the fix, soonish...

in the mean time you can easly fix it yourself:
1) open the script in the scripteditor
2) navigate to line 81 ("var oPlugin = new ActiveXObject(sPluginName);") and remove it;
3) change line 66 from "var oPlugin = Object;" to "var oPlugin = new ActiveXObject(sPluginName);"
4) Save it

EDIT: script updated, see "Update: HolidayCounter v3.00.064 - Live (script version 1.1)"
