Problems with birthday countdown code, please help Options

[Cirnelle]

Hi all,

I want to put a birthday countdown on my xanga. and i want the font to be in red color. i've change all the hex code to FF0000 but it appears that only the words " my birthday" are in red, whereas the words " XX days until" are in black.

what is wrong with this code? can someone please enlighten me?

and one more question. where should i place this code if i want the birthday countdown to appear at the lower right hand side of my page?

the code i have:

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /></tr><script language="JavaScript1.2"> <br /><br />var today = new Date;<br />var Future0 = new Date;<br /><br />var BirthMonth = 2;<br />var BirthDate = 19;<br />var BirthYear = 1983;<br />BirthMonth--;<br /><br />Future0.setMonth(BirthMonth, BirthDate);<br />if (Date.parse(today) > Date.parse(Future0))<br />{<br />Future0.setFullYear(today.getYear()+1);<br />age = (today.getYear() - BirthYear) + 1;<br />}<br />else<br />{age = today.getYear() - BirthYear;}<br /><br />if (age % 10 == 0)<br />ageend = 'th';<br />else if (age % 10 == 4)<br />ageend = 'th';<br />else if (age % 10 == 5)<br />ageend = 'th';<br />else if (age % 10 == 6)<br />ageend = 'th';<br />else if (age % 10 == 7)<br />ageend = 'th';<br />else if (age % 10 == 8)<br />ageend = 'th';<br />else if (age % 10 == 9)<br />ageend = 'th';<br />else if (age % 10 == 1)<br />ageend = 'st';<br />else if (age % 10 == 2)<br />ageend = 'nd';<br />else if (age % 10 == 3)<br />ageend = 'rd';<br /><br /><br />var faraevent = "<font color=#FF0000><i>my birthday</font>";<br /><br />today1 = Date.parse(today);<br />future1 = Date.parse(Future0);<br />secleft = future1 - today1;<br />miliday = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;<br />daysleft = secleft/miliday;<br />daysleftint = Math.round(daysleft);<br /><br />if (daysleftint > 1)<br />document.write(" ", daysleftint, " days until <font color=#FF0000>my <i>", age, ageend, "</i> birthday</font>");<br />else if (daysleftint == 1)<br />document.write("<font color=#FF0000>my <i>", age, ageend, "</i> birthday</font> is tomorrow");<br />else if (today1 == future1)<br />document.write("<font color=#FF0000>my <br /><br /><i>", age, ageend, "</i> birthday</font> is today");<br />else<br />document.write("passed");<br /></script><br><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->
