I normally have my IE options "Check for newer versions of stored pages" set to "Every visit to the page" as in the past I've been caught out by not seeing the latest version of a page.
Changing the option to "Automatically" certainly makes the 'counter' run smoother!
Perhaps I'll leave my settings like this for a while, otherwise it gets on my nerves...
[It's worse in IE than FF]
Here's the (source code) that Freeola use, and it basically just changes the image every second.
The HTML is set to the time 00:00:00 using six single 0 images, and the JavaScript gets the time from the users computer and appears to find the difference between that time and 12 midday, then every second takes a second away (like a normal countdown) while updating the images to reflect that.
The only problem is that peoples computer clocks are not always accurate, but it's not like this is a life or death countdown :)
