Fwd: Countdown banner 12.10 from Ubuntu Greece

[Amir Eldor]

וואו, הקוד של היוונים נוראי :)
תודה תומר על השינויים שעשית, עשיתי עוד כמה בעצמי כדי להתאים את זה יותר לאתר
של אובונטו ישראל. בינתיים אפשר לראות תוצאות באתר פיתוח שלנו
http://staging.ubuntu-ill.org. מישהו יכול לבדוק אם זה פועל סבבה גם על
Chrome וגרסאות אקספלורר מ־IE8 ֹמעלה?

תודה שוב :)
אמיר

I did some changes with my team to the script!

 - It's localized to Hebrew now and thus has `direction: rtl` in the CSS.
Just remove that line or change to `ltr` for LTR languages :)
 - The countdown for "days already here!" was fixed to not show a "-" sign
(negative days). Not sure if this was intended by the original scripter
 - Some indentation was made
 - HTML5 compliance
 - The url of the image in the CSS is not absolute now.
 - more? (

The JavaScript can be further optimized but I don't feel like doing that
right now :)
The new script is attached, with a git repository in it :), but I forgot to
commit the original version of the script :(.

I've added it to our test website at http://staging.ubuntu-il.org/ with the
following code (make changes so it fits your site):
<div style="text-align: center" ><iframe width="119" height="110"
frameBorder="0" src="http://staging.ubuntu-il.org/countdown-he/count.html
"></iframe></div>

Can someone test it on several browsers? I only tested it in Firefox and
would like to know if it also works on Chrome and version of IE since at
least IE8. If it all looks good we can add it to the production website.

Thanks!
Amir
