I have this module up on my site : www.irbracingsa.com and it works in Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome but not in IE.

I have seen it working on other sites through IE but can not work out why it will not run.

Have spent hours trying to work it our, any suggestions?

That's odd which IE version is the problem? Does IE have any error messages in javascript? Does other javascript in drupal work?
Is the site public?

I have tried it on IE6, and IE7, do not have a machine running IE8.

This is the only javascript I have on this site.

Currently this site is sitting on my test server, but eventually will be in the public domain for all IRB Racing Members in South Australia to access.

I am an IRB Racer myself and they governing body in South Australia has been trying for a few years to find someone to set up a website, I stupidly at our last IRB Managers meeting said I would do it, I am now regretting it as it is taking a lot more time than I had planned.

Any help would be very much appreciated as I am at the end of my list of things to check.

If the demo site at: http://drupal6.vandervortsweb.com works for you IE browsers, then it might be the format string.
Can you post the code from your timer span and your format string settings from the admin screen?

Something like this (use code tags)

<span class="countdowntimer">
 <span style="display:none" class="datetime">2007-02-26T09:30:00</span> 
 <span style="display:none" class="dir">up</span>
</span>

<em>(%dow% %moy%%day%, %year%)</em><br/>%days% days + %hours%:%mins%:%secs%

Give this a try:
1. replace your countdowntimer.module with the one in this zip files
2. go to the countdown timer admin page and hit save.
3. reload your main page and see if it works with IE.

Actually try this one instead.
After saving the admin screen, you may need to shift-reload your front page several times.

Whoooo Hooooo!

Thank You, all working now in IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera.

I owe you big time, I spent hours on this, I guess a fresh set of eyes is always the best way to look at things like this some times.

Thanks Again!

The 6.x-2.x-dev from 2009-May-12 should have this fix. I'll make a new prod release in about a month if no one has problems with the dev version.
I'm glad to help.

For whatever it's worth.... With Drupal 6.12, Countdown timer 6.x-2.20 this

"Tickets go on sale July 4 at 8pm. Just %days% days, %hours% hours, %mins% minutes and %secs% seconds!"

worked on firefox 3.0.10, Chrome 1.0.154.65 but would not show up in safari 3.2.3 or IE 7.0.5730.11.

All seem to be ok with May 12 6.x-2.x-dev.
