Please apply this fix to the main page for MSIE 5.2.1 o

Since noone responded to my previous post, I decided to fix the code myself. In the main page's source, please modify the countdown script as follows:else if (document.all||document.getElementById)crosscount.innerHTML="" // ADDED, FDj to fix for MSIE 5.2.1 for Mac OS Xcrosscount.innerHTML=opentags+dday+ " days, "+dhour+" hours, "+dmin+" minutes, and "+dsec+" seconds left until "+occasion+closetagsThe innerHTML needs to be cleared before setting it anew to work around a bug in this version of MSIE. There are still weird effects with the script, but it's much better than it was.Thanks,Florian

Thanks, Florian!I did note your original response and sent a couple of dispatches to folks running MacOSX (although with MSIE 5.1.x) and did indeed replicate your issue, although I had thoroughly no idea how to fix it!Many thanks for your patch. I'm applying it right now to the places where that script is used.Regards,--M

While we're at it here goes the whole code with the fix mentioned above plus a fix which displays "1 second" instead of "1 seconds". Also fixes for the minutes, hours, and days... ;-):-rotor Dave<script language="JavaScript1.2">function setcountdown(theyear,themonth,theday){yr=theyear;mo=themonth;da=theday}setcountdown(2002,09,13)var occasion="The Flight Simulation 2002 Convention!"var message_on_occasion="See you at the Convention!"var countdownwidth='400px'var countdownheight='30px'var countdownbgcolor='navy'var opentags='
