What bit are you having difficulty understanding?

- Create a product initializing an expiry datetime value - Read the expiry datatime and pass that to the countdown JavaScript - Use the passed in expiry datetime to initialize the countdown timer

The rest of what you need to know is shown in example code on the control's home page.

pretty cool - is there a way to change the background color the closer the counter get to zero? thx
