I am trying to make a timer that switches images based on the time and day and has a countdown timer til the item is not on sale anymore. Would i have to use jquery to refresh the image without refreshing the whole page? What would be the best way to go about this?
You could calculate the difference between now and the date in question. If it is a positive number then set your main picture preview the pictures based on the time of day with the now() function. If you number the pictures instead of naming them, you can use random to display them randomly. As for having them change without the page refreshing, you would need javascript for that. Unless you use an iframe and have that page refresh separately from the main page.
Ok cool, so one question i have what if the user comes after the bidding starts. Will it have the timer started already or will i have to do something else to effect the time on when ever they come in?
