Apologies for all of the question. My remaining one is, how would one add extra characters for days? The date to which I am counting down is 500+ days away.

Figured it out. Not sure if the fix is appropriate, though. I changed 'top' on line 116 and 128 to 0.

Is it possible to change it so the numbers just fade into one another without the slide up/down animation? Thanks!

if you want any type of changes when timer comes down to 00.00.00.00 then
on script.js page add below Code just before the line : "note.html(message);"

if(days==0 && hours==0 && minutes==0 && seconds==0)
{
	window.location.replace("http://www.tutorialzine.com");  //to redirect another location
        alert("Times up! "); //to show alert box		
}

@wayne, @ann, @gmrm the months start at 0, not one, so you can put 07-1 for July as in (2014,07-1,14) for July 14, 2014 (or just put in 6 for July)

This will work when days are < 99 - ugly but fixed for now. http://pastie.org/7128926

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to get this countdown to work properly. I'm trying to set a date that I know is 53 days into the future, but this counter is saying it's 83 days into the future. What am I doing wrong?

I had the same problem. I've put this:
// Number of seconds in every time division
var days = 72*90*90,
hours = 60*60,
minutes = 60;
